PAL Robotics will present its TIAGo Pro mobile manipulator at Mobile World Congress Barcelona 2026. Headquartered in Barcelona, PAL Robotics develops humanoid and service robots for research and commercial applications. At the event, the company will focus on the integration of robotics, artificial intelligence and real-time communication technologies aimed at supporting the deployment of robots in operational environments.
TIAGo Pro is described by the company as a next-generation mobile manipulator that combines navigation, perception and manipulation capabilities. The platform features an open-source software architecture designed to enable integration and customization for research and industrial use cases. According to the company, the system is intended to support development workflows and facilitate deployment across different sectors.
Visitors to the stand will have the opportunity to teleoperate TIAGo Pro in real time. The live demonstration is designed to illustrate remote control capabilities in dynamic environments, including scenarios that require human oversight or direct intervention.
Beyond the exhibition floor, PAL Robotics’ chief executive officer, Francesco Ferro, is scheduled to participate in a round-table discussion titled “What do the androids of today dream about? High-tech robots for everyday environments” as part of the Spain Pavilion conference programme. The session will address issues related to human–robot collaboration and the deployment of robotic systems in practical settings.
During the same week in Barcelona, the company will also take part in Talent Arena, where it plans to present ARI, one of its earlier robotic platforms, and host a talk titled “AI @ PAL Robots” focusing on the role of artificial intelligence in robot behavior and interaction.
Founded in 2004, PAL Robotics began with the development of a fully autonomous humanoid biped robot capable of playing chess. The company has since expanded its portfolio to include humanoid systems as well as solutions for retail and manufacturing, and has participated in more than 60 collaborative research projects related to robotics development.
