ARI is PAL Robotics' high-performance social humanoid robot, purpose-built for advanced Human-Robot Interaction (HRI) research and customer-facing service roles.

ARI is a versatile, mobile social robot from PAL Robotics: it handles roles like receptionist, guide, and entertainer. The platform leverages advanced AI for crucial functions (speech recognition, face detection, expressive gestures) and uses a wheeled mobile base for safe, autonomous navigation in most environments. Its hardware includes multiple cameras (RGB, RGB-D) and an integrated touchscreen for multimodal user engagement. Developers access the ROS (Robot Operating System) API and a user-friendly web interface to customize behavior, making ARI a powerful tool for HRI research and service integration in education or customer service applications.
