Core 77 Finalist

TOCABI stands for Torque-controlled CompliAnt BIped. It is 1.8 meters, 100KG and 33 degrees of freedom. The torque-control and compliance algorithms controlling the robot help make human-robot interaction safer by limiting the energy put into the motors to only what is required for the expected tasks.
