Product overview
About TOSY TOPIO 3.0
TOPIO is a table-tennis humanoid developed by TOSY Robotics, a Vietnamese company. Development began in November 2005, and TOPIO 1.0 was shown at the Tokyo International Robot Exhibition (IREX) in November 2007. This record covers TOPIO 3.0, first demonstrated at IREX on 25 November 2009.
Wikipedia's specification table gives TOPIO 3.0 a height of about 188 cm and a weight of 120 kg. The biped has 39 degrees of freedom, including five in each hand, and uses brushless DC servo motors. Its listed 48 V, 20 Ah lithium-polymer battery corresponds to 0.96 kWh. Two high-speed cameras provide vision.
TOPIO 3.0 was also shown at the Nuremberg toy fair in February 2010 and at Automatica in Munich in June 2010. Wikimedia Commons photos document the IREX and Automatica appearances. TOSY does not provide a current TOPIO product page or datasheet.
The last documented public demonstration is from June 2010. The sources reviewed show no later development or sales, so the status remains discontinued. Core specifications rely on Wikipedia's cited table rather than a surviving TOSY datasheet.
