You still have to add
Day oneWalks with dynamic controllers and does torque-controlled manipulation demos, but everything real requires a robotics research team.
Reality check
At a million euros it is a research instrument, not a robot that does anything on its own: you are buying the most open full-size chassis in Europe and a PhD team's worth of work.
Can you get one, and what will it cost?
A planning estimate with machine, freight, duty, and tax shown separately.
Yes, with work: importable into United States.
US authorization: We found no public FCC ID for this model. Since 28 July 2026 a foreign-made robot can be sold into the US only under an FCC authorization from before that date, so ask the seller for its FCC ID, or its Supplier's Declaration of Conformity dated before 28 July 2026, before you pay. Every humanoid you can still buy in the US
Spare batteries and other accessories are excluded. Confirm compatibility and pricing with the seller.

What it does on day onewith zero programming
Walks with dynamic controllers and does torque-controlled manipulation demos, but everything real requires a robotics research team. Designed for heavy industrial research (drilling, riveting).
Best for: Well-funded research groups doing torque-controlled whole-body and heavy manipulation research.
Documented uses
Robotics R&DManipulation research
PAL Robotics describes TALOS as a ROS-based, fully torque-controlled humanoid for research, with customizable grippers and a 6 kg payload per arm.
Whole-body control, navigation and teleoperation are premium software extras, and the head, gripper configuration and price are set by quote.
Source reviewed 2026-10-05Assessment from published documentation, not an independent performance test. Applies to the configuration described above.
What it takes to developskills, gear, and SDK access
A PhD-level robotics team; ROS/ROS2, C++, whole-body control experience, and lab safety infrastructure.
SDK access: Open ROS-based stack with a full torque-control API and a strong academic ecosystem. One of the most open full-size platforms.
