PAL Robotics CEO Francesco and technical director Luca Marchionni show host Wyoming their robots at the company’s Barcelona site, discussing public-facing assistance, mobile manipulation and humanoid research.
Wyoming meets Ari Juárez and asks Francesco whether the robot will take people’s jobs. Francesco says the aim is to improve work, with Ari potentially helping visitors in places such as shopping centers and stores.
Francesco explains that Tiago’s name comes from “Take It and Go” and describes its ability to move autonomously around homes, shops and shopping centers. He says robots at a research lab collaborate on tasks such as making beds and setting tables, and that robots may also help with hospital reception. The displayed hands illustrate options for equipping robots.
Technical director Luca Marchionni introduces TALOS as a humanoid robot with 32 motors, used to explain humanoid complexity and as a research platform. He says it is kept supported because it lacks safety brakes and could fall if switched off. During a demonstration, Marchionni describes its arm and leg movements and says it moves without knowing where it is, like a person walking in the dark.
Wyoming imagines a robot companion for dancing or a football match, then tries having TALOS hold a microphone. The robot picks it up and says it can sing. Wyoming jokes that a robot more entertaining at a work dinner could threaten his own job.
