Summary

Kangaroo from Spain's PAL Robotics (Barcelona, founded 2004) is a research platform built around modularity: the arms can be ordered in 4-, 5- or 7-DOF versions, which directly changes the payload. The 4-DOF variant lifts 7 kg with one arm extended and as much as 30 kg with both arms, while the more precise 7-DOF variant carries only 3 kg and 25 kg respectively.

The EtherCAT control loop runs at 2 kHz, and the robot weighs about 58 kg in a typical configuration at a height of 1.60 m (the manufacturer gives a range of 50 to 65 kg depending on equipment). A 976 Wh battery (15 Ah/63 V) powers the system, though the runtime is not stated.

Within PAL's own family, compared with the taller and heavier TALOS (175 cm/95 kg, 6 kg payload), Kangaroo favors configuration flexibility over raw strength. Against the commercially available Unitree G1 EDU (132 cm/35 kg), Kangaroo is far more expensive and harder to get, but it offers the full arm configurability typical of laboratory hardware.

The price is not published: PAL sells project by project to research centers, and the robot is not available in Poland as a commercial product.
