PAL Robotics designs and manufactures robotic platforms for integration into industrial, healthcare, logistics, retail, and research environments. Since 2004, the company has developed biped humanoid robots and modular service robotics systems deployed across more than 30 countries. Core platforms include TALOS, KANGAROO, TIAGo, and ARI - systems built on customizable architectures to accommodate specific deployment requirements across distinct vertical applications areas.
The company operates from headquarters in Barcelona with additional engineering and support offices in Toulouse and Bari. PAL Robotics has demonstrated working systems in real-world settings: TALOS operates as Europe's first fully autonomous humanoid biped, addressing the hardware and software integration challenges inherent in bipedal locomotion, manipulation, and autonomous mission execution. The TIAGo and ARI platforms target mobile manipulation tasks in constrained human environments - a domain requiring careful attention to safety boundaries, sensor fusion, and real-time decision-making under uncertainty.
PAL Robotics maintains active involvement in the European robotics research community through leadership positions in euRobotics, Adra, HispaRob, and the International Federation of Robotics. This engagement reflects both a commitment to standards development and ongoing collaboration on the open problems facing deployed service robotics: dynamic stability on variable terrain, grasp synthesis under sensory constraints, and safe human-robot interaction protocols.
