Description

Summary:

 

Themis V2 is a full-sized humanoid robot developed by Westwood Robotics, designed for real-world deployment across logistics, services, and research. Standing 1.6 meters tall, it features 40 degrees of freedom, liquid-cooled BEAR actuators, and 200 TOPS AI computing power distributed across its head and body. The robot supports dynamic motion, dexterous manipulation, and natural interaction, making it a versatile platform for human-robot collaboration.

 

Editorial:

 

Themis V2 represents a leap in humanoid robotics—combining lightweight design, high-torque actuation, and AI-enhanced perception. Its proprietary BEAR actuators are back-drivable and compliant, enabling smooth, safe movement even in close proximity to humans or fragile objects. The robot’s 6 DOF arms and 7 DOF end-effectors allow for expressive gestures and fine motor control, while its stereo vision system supports real-time navigation and obstacle avoidance.

 

Powered by an AMD Ryzen 7840HS control unit, Themis V2 runs AI-augmented Humanoid OS built on ROS, integrating LLM-based interaction, motion planning, and battery safety systems. It’s designed for indoor mobility, task automation, and research-grade experimentation, with a growing developer ecosystem and modular upgrade path.

 

Westwood Robotics positions Themis V2 as a next-gen collaborative robot, capable of adapting to dynamic environments and supporting high-value human workflows.
