Quick Answer
REEM-C is PAL Robotics’ earlier biped research platform — 165 cm, 80 kg, 68 DOF on our card, with a 1 kg payload. That payload alone should have killed the 9.0. TALOS is the later torque-controlled PAL humanoid. Do not shop this URL as TALOS.

What it is
A full biped from PAL Robotics that pre-dates TALOS in their humanoid lineup. Service-robot cousins in the REEM family were wheeled; this one is the biped research article.
What is published
PAL material and a 10-link reference set on our profile. 1 kg payload is the honest limiter. No public MSRP.
Flaws
Payload and age. The stencil still threw Optimus into the compare list. Different planet of use.
Real-world usefulness
A teaching and whole-body-control platform if PAL still supports your serial number. Not a worker. Read TALOS if you want PAL’s later research biped.
