Computing Platform
Control runs IHMC's in-house open-source whole-body control software for coordinated full-body research. Communications use CAN bus inside the actuators plus EtherCAT and a tether. No onboard computer, processor model or autonomy stack is published, and the platform is explicitly designed for supervised operation.
Onboard computers run IHMC's whole-body control and behaviour software, with an open Alex SDK for custom work. The platform carries its own computation, perception and power, which is what removes the tether; connectivity is wireless teleoperation. No processor model, TOPS figure or memory size is published.
Sensors
No sensor list is published; the platform is described through its actuation, control and connectivity rather than its perception suite, and its manipulation rating is listed as zero out of five, which reflects an early research profile focused on mobility.
Stereo vision is published for depth perception, alongside a face screen for status and voice interaction. No camera resolution, lidar model or sensor count is published.
