TIAGo is totally configurable, unlike other robots of
its kind. “TIAGo’s purpose is to be custom-fitted to any specific need” says
Product Manager, Jordi Pagès. That is why three
versions are available - Iron, Steel and Titanium. The Iron version can be
upgraded to Steel and Titanium, besides they are also modular and customizable,
adapting TIAGo to all budgets. The robot is affordable for institutions and
labs and can now be pre-ordered. First final pre-ordered units are now under
construction.
TIAGo's main features
TIAGo is a mobile research platform provided with a sensorized pan-tilt head, a lifting torso and a 7 DOF arm, which ensures a large manipulation workspace. Its end-effector is plug and play, and can be a parallel gripper or a five-fingered humanoid hand. It is able to grasp and manipulate objects with a payload of 2 Kg. The hand is underactuated, soft, resistant and versatile, suitable for manipulation and human-robot interaction tasks. Another optional is a force-torque sensor at its wrist.
TIAGo runs autonomously on the PMB2 mobile base, creating a map of the environment with a 2D laser. Its sensors provide visual perception, enabling it to detect objects, people, obstacles and anything you implement.
The technology used by TIAGo is endorsed by PAL Robotics’ large experience in humanoid robots - a company running since 2004. The team is known for developing the REEM humanoids family, with REEM-C and REEM standing out. Now PAL Robotics also works on other platforms to answer specific needs for which the developed technology of PAL Robotics is also useful, such as TIAGo for research environments.
