In a groundbreaking development set to transform the landscape of industrial automation, we are thrilled to introduce Torobo, a cutting-edge humanoid robot designed to accelerate research and applications in full-body robotics. This remarkable creation represents a significant leap forward in bridging the gap between human capabilities and robotic efficiency in various industrial settings.

Human-Like Dimensions, Superhuman Capabilities

Standing at an impressive 1660 mm tall, with a reach of 680 mm, Torobo closely mirrors human proportions, allowing for seamless integration into existing work environments. However, its capabilities far exceed those of its human counterparts. Torobo boasts an extraordinary payload capacity of 8 kg per arm in its most challenging postures, with the ability to exert an instantaneous maximum force of 20 kg when its elbow is bent at a right angle. This combination of human-like dimensions and superhuman strength positions Torobo as an ideal candidate for a wide array of industrial applications, from heavy lifting to precise manipulation tasks.

Unparalleled Flexibility and Dexterity

Torobo's joint configuration is nothing short of revolutionary. Equipped with 7-axis dual arms, a 3-axis waist, a 3-axis neck, and a 4-axis undercarriage featuring an omni-directional mobile base, this humanoid robot possesses a range of motion that closely mimics that of a human worker. This exceptional flexibility allows Torobo to navigate and operate effectively in spaces designed for human occupancy, opening up new possibilities for human-robot collaboration in various industries.

Advanced Sensing and Control for Safe Interaction

Safety is paramount in any human-robot interaction, and Torobo excels in this aspect. Integrated torque sensors at every joint in its arms and waist enable precise force control and safe contact stops. This advanced feature allows Torobo to perform delicate assembly tasks, cooking operations, and even engage in physical interactions with humans with unprecedented safety and skill.

Cutting-Edge Perception and Communication

Torobo's sensory capabilities are equally impressive. Its head is equipped with a wide-angle stereo camera, a fisheye camera, and a depth camera, providing a comprehensive view of its surroundings. A stereo microphone allows for audio input, while a built-in speaker facilitates clear communication. These features combine to make Torobo not just a worker, but a true collaborator in any industrial setting.

Powered for Endurance

With a built-in battery system, Torobo can operate continuously for up to 3 hours, ensuring minimal downtime in industrial applications. Moreover, its ability to operate while charging provides the flexibility needed for extended operations, making it an ideal solution for industries requiring round-the-clock productivity.

Customizable for Diverse Applications

Torobo's versatility is further enhanced by its modular design, allowing for customization to meet specific industry needs. Customers can choose between a three-finger or four-finger hand configuration, each offering unique advantages in grasping and manipulation tasks. The optional leader-follower control system, utilizing Noitom's Perception Neuron® PRO motion capture technology, opens up possibilities for intuitive remote control and advanced machine learning applications.

A Platform for Innovation

Built on the widely-used Robot Operating System (ROS), Torobo offers researchers and developers a familiar and powerful platform for pushing the boundaries of robotic capabilities. From implementing advanced trajectory planning to developing new machine learning algorithms, Torobo provides the perfect testbed for the next generation of robotic innovations.

Looking to the Future

As we stand on the brink of a new era in industrial automation, Torobo represents more than just a technological achievement; it embodies the future of human-robot collaboration. Its potential applications span across industries, from manufacturing and logistics to healthcare and beyond. By combining human-like dexterity with robotic precision and strength, Torobo is poised to revolutionize the way we approach complex industrial tasks.

In conclusion, Torobo is not just a robot; it's a glimpse into the future of work. As industries worldwide grapple with labor shortages and the need for increased efficiency, Torobo offers a solution that is both innovative and practical. With its advanced capabilities, customizable features, and potential for continuous improvement through software updates, Torobo is set to become an indispensable asset in the factories and workplaces of tomorrow.

The future of industrial robotics is here, and its name is Torobo. Are you ready to step into the next generation of automation?
