Pyrène, a humanoid robot, lifting bricks with its gripper-hands. Its two grippers let it lift objects weighing 6 kg without damaging them. The robot has a complex structure equipped with 32 electric motors. Its specifications were drawn up by the robotics team at LAAS, and it was manufactured by the company PAL Robotics. Pyrène has been designed to carry heavy loads, go up and down stairs, adapt to unstable ground and use tools to perform complex actions. Excellent perception of its environment…

Pyrène has been designed to carry heavy loads, go up and down stairs, adapt to unstable ground and use tools to perform complex actions. Excellent perception of its environment and high computing power should enable it to react rapidly to any unexpected situations. An inertial measurement unit helps…

Detail of photovoltaic panels on the facade of the building. This building incorporates various ways of generating electrical energy: photovoltaic panels of various types, with a peak supply of 100 kW, and 24 photovoltaic converters. Adream (an acronym in French meaning "dynamic reconfigurable architectures for embedded mobile autonomous systems") is both a scientific project and the experimental, instrumented building that houses it. Dedicated to research on ambient intelligence, it also has a…

HRP-2 and Pyrène, two generations of humanoid robot side by side. The specifications for both robots were drawn up by the robotics team at LAAS. Pyrène is the next step in evolution after HRP-2, which was developed in 2006 at the Joint Robotics Laboratory, a Franco-Japanese venture. Research scientists wanted to supplement its physical abilities with improved computing and reasoning capacities. Pyrène was the successful outcome of this challenge in 2017. It uses new lithium battery technology,…

HRP-2, a humanoid robot, climbing the stairs. It is being controlled remotely by a research scientist. HRP-2, the humanoid robot forerunner of Pyrène, was developed in 2006 at the Joint Robotics Laboratory, a Franco-Japanese venture. It already demonstrates advanced computing and reasoning capacity. To achieve that, it is fitted with cameras for vision as well as effort and attitude sensors for balance management, forward planning and movement control. In 2017, Pyrène took these developments…
