KANGAROO

PAL Robotics

KANGAROO is PAL Robotics' bipedal humanoid research platform for dynamic locomotion, reinforcement learning and embodied AI research, standing 1.6 m tall and weighing 50-65 kg with 14-40 total degrees of freedom depending on configuration. Each leg has 6 degrees of freedom, the torso 2 (yaw/roll), and each arm is available in 4/5/7-DOF versions (7/5/3 kg payload at full extension, up to 30 kg in bimanual operation). It carries four RGB-D cameras, a 2 kHz EtherCAT real-time control loop and a 1 kHz IMU/AHRS update; the battery is 976 Wh. On-board and wireless emergency stops are provided, with a safety rating of SIL 2 / PL d. The software stack is Ubuntu + ROS 2 + PAL OS, with MuJoCo/mjlab simulation and RL toolchains, and a built-in policy library covering walking, push recovery, running, jumping, stair climbing, dancing and box carrying.
