PAL Robotics

PAL Robotics is a Spanish robot manufacturer founded in 2004 and headquartered in Barcelona, building mobile manipulators, legged robots and service robots for research institutions, retailers and healthcare facilities that need a robot platform for tasks beyond fixed factory automation, such as human-robot interaction studies or store inventory checks.

Its product line spans the TIAGo family of wheeled mobile manipulators used by university and corporate labs, the TALOS and KANGAROO bipedal research platforms, StockBot, an autonomous RFID robot that scans store shelves for inventory accuracy, and ARI, a social robot for reception and assistive settings. Robots ship with ROS-based software stacks customers can extend for their own applications, and the company reports robots operating in more than 35 countries.
