By PAL Robotics
The PAL Robotics KANGAROO is a 1.60 m biped humanoid for research on locomotion and robot learning.
PAL Robotics presents the KANGAROO as a platform for research on dynamic locomotion, reinforcement learning and embodied AI. The page states a height of 1.60 m, a weight of 50-65 kg, 14-40 degrees of freedom depending on the platform configuration, 6 degrees of freedom per leg, a torso with 2 degrees of freedom and arms with 4, 5 or 7 degrees of freedom. The payload per arm is 7, 5 or 3 kg (arm fully extended) according to the page, and 30, 28 or 25 kg for both arms. It also lists four RGB-D cameras, a 15 Ah / 63 V battery (976 Wh), EtherCAT with a 2 kHz control loop and software based on Ubuntu, ROS 2 and PAL OS, with MuJoCo and mjlab for simulation. The page names research and artificial intelligence. The KANGAROO can be requested through a quote; the company address is in Barcelona. Availability in the Netherlands is not confirmed.
