EUROBENCH — EUropean ROBotic framework for bipedal locomotion bENCHmarking
The REEM-C humanoid that EUROBENCH offered to third parties is built by PAL Robotics, the project partner that this Atlas already tracks — one of the rare cases where a European benchmarking programme and a European robot maker meet on the same machine.

What it left behindEurope's first benchmarking framework for bipedal systems: the test benches built in the project, kept operative with their safety systems to serve third parties, and a REEM-C humanoid made available to open-call users, plus eleven peer-reviewed publications on exoskeleton and humanoid performance metrics.
