Overview

PAL Robotics' first commercial biped humanoid, unveiled in 2013 as a research platform after the wheeled REEM. It walks dynamically, climbs stairs, grasps with dexterous hands and ships with full ROS support and a Gazebo model. It led to PAL's torque-controlled TALOS (2017), and PAL now lists it as a legacy robot.
