Torobo is an advanced humanoid robot developed by Tokyo Robotics for industrial automation, robotics research, machine learning, and human-robot interaction. Unlike many humanoid robots focused primarily on mobility, Torobo is designed around precise force control, manipulation, and safe interaction with objects and people. It features dual 7-axis robotic arms, a multi-axis waist and neck, torque sensors in every arm and waist joint, and a ROS-compatible software architecture.
Torobo is particularly suitable for research institutions, universities, AI laboratories, advanced manufacturing facilities, and companies developing next-generation automation systems. Its impedance control technology enables delicate operations such as assembly, tool handling, object manipulation, and collaborative work alongside humans.
Torobo stands out among humanoid robots because of its focus on force-sensitive manipulation and real-world interaction. With integrated torque sensing, advanced impedance control, and compatibility with major robotics simulation environments, Torobo provides a powerful platform for organizations developing future AI-powered robotic systems. Its industrial-grade engineering and research-focused architecture make it an ideal solution for advanced robotics laboratories and automation projects
