PAL Robotics TIAGo

PAL Robotics' modular mobile manipulator, widely used in academic research and home-service studies.

TIAGo is a mobile manipulator (a mobile base topped with a robot arm) from Spain's PAL Robotics. The standard version has a differential-drive base, a lift that adjusts torso height (roughly 1.1–1.45 m), a 7-degree-of-freedom arm, and a head that pans and tilts with an RGB-D camera (color plus depth). Its main selling point is modularity: it can be configured with a gripper or a dexterous hand, one arm or two (TIAGo++), and an optional series-elastic-actuator arm for torque control and safer collisions; PAL rates single-arm payload at about 3 kg excluding the end effector, and there's also an upgraded TIAGo Pro. The system runs on ROS, so many universities use it for research in navigation, grasping, human-robot interaction, and home-service tasks — it sits in the same category of research platform as PR2, Fetch, and Toyota's HSR.

ExampleResearchers run ROS's Nav2 navigation stack together with MoveIt grasp planning on a TIAGo to have it pick up a cup from a kitchen counter and hand it to a person.
