PAL Robotics

✨ Inspiring visit yesterday from students of the Digital Business degree at ESIC University✨ They discovered what we do, explored the potential of robotics in real business contexts, asked smart and challenging questions, and even had the chance to meet and interact with some of our robots.🤖 It’s always inspiring to see how technology and business converge, and how the next generation is preparing to apply innovation in meaningful ways. These students reminded us that the future of robotics is not only about engineering, it’s about strategy, empathy, creativity and vision.🚀 🙌Thank you for your enthusiasm, your questions, and your energy! #Robotics #DigitalBusiness #Innovation #FutureTalent #Education #Technology

🚀Call for Papers! TRAIL Conference on Transparent & Interpretable Human–Robot Interaction🤖✨ We are pleased to announce the #TRAILConference, a focused event dedicated to advancing research in transparent, interpretable, and explainable human–robot interaction (HRI). 📍Catania, Italy 🗓️ 16-17 April, 2026 📄Submission deadline:16th January 2026 Discover more🔗 https://lnkd.in/dAURFSRH This conference is ideal for early–career researchers and PhD students, offering a friendly environment to present short contributions — including work-in-progress, novel concepts, and early results. It’s a great opportunity to receive constructive feedback and build international collaborations.💪🏻 👉 There are no registration fees, since this event is proudly supported by the TRAIL Marie Skłodowska–Curie European Union project (https://lnkd.in/dYCjnTUr), promoting transparency and interpretability in human–robot interaction. Special thanks also to our honorary chairs Stefan Wermter, Silvia Rossi and Igor Farkaš! Learn more about TRAIL project 🔗 https://lnkd.in/dYCjnTUr If you work in explainability or transparency in HRI, robotics, AI, or related areas, we warmly invite you to submit and join us! Looking forward to your contributions and to meeting you in April!🌍🤝🏼 #HRI #HumanRobotInteraction #ExplainableAI #TrustworthyAI #Robotics #Research #SocialRobotics #AIEthics #EarlyCareerResearchers #PhDLife #MSCA

Yesterday we spent the day at SECPHO SUMMIT 2025, connecting with innovators shaping the future of robotics and deep tech.🤖 Our colleagues Julio Modesto Díaz Castellano and Albert Vega Duran represented PAL Robotics at the event, and #ARI, our social robot, was also there on site, joining the conversations! A big thank you to secpho and the organisers for creating such an inspiring space and bringing together a vibrant community. It’s always inspiring to share our work and explore new ways to collaborate!🙌🏼 #SECPHOSummit2025  #Robotics #DeepTech #Innovation #AI #Technology #Networking #SocialRobots 

💛🙌🏼 Great experience at the WeMind International Forum! We attended the event with our partners from the #ROBOCAT consortium at the Robocat experiential booth. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase our work in assistive robotics and demonstrate how innovation can support autonomy, wellbeing and quality of life. We had the pleasure of sharing the booth with: LabORA - Laboratori Obert de Robòtica Assistencial, Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya (UPC), Group Saltó, WeMind Cluster, CSIC, acceXible, i2CAT Research Centre, Eurecat - Centro Tecnológico, YASYT, Suara Cooperativa, Parc Sanitari Pere Virgili, Consorci Sanitari de Terrassa, ASOCIACIÓN AVI and Datision. This project we’re all working on, ROBOCAT, aims to address ageing and growing care needs by developing a modular robotic platform, a digital management system and applications for social, cognitive, physical and health support. ✨ 🎤Also, our colleague Joel Garcia joined the Expert Panel on Assistive Robotics, highlighting that robots are here to collaborate and that co-creation with professionals and end users is essential to build meaningful solutions. Thank you to all partners and visitors who stopped by, and also to WeMind Cluster for organizing it. Let’s continue shaping technology that supports people!🫂 #WeMind #ROBOCAT #assistiverobotics #innovation #agingwell #Barcelona #healthcare #robotics

Two months after #CoRL2025, it’s a great moment to look back at one of our favourite highlights.✨⬇️ During the conference, Amazon Fulfillment Technologies & Robotics challenged us to tackle a pick-and-place task they aim to automate in their workflows. 🤖TIAGo Pro took on the challenge and delivered! Using our teleoperation setup, the robot completed the full pick-and-place sequence with precision and reliability, showcasing how intuitive human–robot collaboration can unlock new possibilities for complex manipulation tasks.

At PAL Robotics, we’ve always believed that robotics can be a powerful bridge between disciplines, and a recent scientific study has given us a perfect example of this.⬇️ A new research paper on social and observational learning in humans and monkeys features #TIAGo as an artificial agent used to study attention, cooperation, and social cues in macaques. 📄The researchers designed a controlled experiment where TIAGo interacted with a macaque through a transparent panel, using gaze direction and movement timing to trigger natural social responses. The results were striking: the macaque quickly began interpreting TIAGo’s head orientation as a meaningful social cue, adapting its behaviour within just a few trials. Why does this matter? ✔️ It demonstrates that humanoid robots like TIAGo can act as consistent, controlled partners in cognitive and neuroscience research. ✔️ It shows the potential of robotics to open new experimental paradigms in fields such as psychology, primatology, and HRI. We’re proud to see TIAGo contributing to innovative scientific work and enabling researchers to explore new experimental paradigms.🤖💡 👏🏻Congratulations to the authors for this fascinating study and for showcasing how robots can help us better understand ourselves and the world around us!

✨ Great moments from yesterday’s #Supertransversal Session! It was inspiring to be there with our CEO, Francesco Ferro, and our Head of Innovation, Alexandre Saldes, sharing ideas and connecting with the Catalan business community. We loved seeing familiar faces and meeting new ones, these conversations are often the starting point for future collaborations. Events like Fòrum Carlemany remind us that progress in robotics and technology grows through community and shared vision. 🌟 A big thank-you to the organisers for creating such a valuable space for exchange and inspiration. Until the next one! 🙌🏼 #Girona #Robotics #AutonomousRobots #FutureOfRobotics #Innovation #TechCommunity

🛍️ Great visit from Decathlon France! A few weeks ago we were delighted to welcome Elodie Marez (Data Governance Manager), XAVIER DETE (Group Product Manager), and Celia CHAUVALON (Senior Product Manager) to our offices. Their visit was a fantastic opportunity to dive deeper into how advanced inventory automation can support large-format retail, improve operational efficiency, and free up teams to focus on what truly matters: enhancing the customer experience.🙌🏼 It was a pleasure discussing the future of automation with you. Looking forward to continued collaboration!🚀 PAL Robotics | Retail #dechatlon #collaboration #retailautomation #robotics #StockBot #TIAGoPro

⭐This week we’re joining the Supertransversal Session organised by Fòrum Carlemany! We’re happy to share that our CEO, Francesco Ferro, will be a speaker at the Supertransversal Session, an event that brings together business leaders to discuss innovation and the future of technology. Francesco will give a talk on autonomous robots in industrial environments, exploring how these systems are already transforming manufacturing. He will also highlight a key message about the future of robotics: progress lies on collaboration.💪🏻 We’re glad to take part in this initiative and connect with the Catalan business community.🙌🏼 #Forumcarlemany #Girona #Robotics #Autonomousrobots #Futureofrobotics #catalanrobotics
