Product overview
About PAL Robotics REEM-C
REEM-C is a full-size walking humanoid from PAL Robotics, a company based in Spain. PAL's launch article is dated 21 November 2013, and its product page describes REEM-C as the company's first humanoid and as a research platform for navigation, vision and AI integration. The company's current site lists it under legacy robots and shows a quote request and contact button rather than an order option.
PAL's current page gives a height of 165 cm, a weight of 80 kg and 68 degrees of freedom overall. Its linked datasheet breaks that total into 12 leg DoF, 14 arm DoF, 38 hand DoF, two waist DoF and two neck DoF; each 19-DoF hand is driven by three actuators. The page lists walking speed up to 2.5 km/h, about 3 hours of walking runtime or 6 hours on standby, and a hand payload of 1 kg with the arm stretched.
PAL's 2013 launch article specifies brushless DC motors, a 48 V lithium-ion battery, a five-hour charge time with the robot off, stereo and rear cameras, four microphones, force/torque sensors, two laser rangefinders and an IMU. The platform is ROS based and PAL provides a public simulation model.
The entry is marked as discontinued because of the legacy listing, although the current page still exposes a quote-request button. PAL should be asked to confirm whether new units remain available.
“A research platform bringing sophisticated navigation, vision, and AI integration to life.”
