THEMIS is its full-size humanoid; company videos show it doing housework, handling hazardous waste and manipulating objects on the move. The current brochure, from May 2026, describes THEMIS TH02 Gen 2.5."]},{"h":"Design and hardware","p":["The Gen 2.5 brochure lists 1.6 m and 36.5 kg, light for a full-size humanoid, with 42 DoF: 6 per leg, 7 per arm, 7 in each three-finger force-controlled hand and 2 in the head. Payload is 15 kg and top walking speed 5 km/h. Hip and knee BEAR actuators can be ordered with liquid cooling for sustained high loads.","Power comes from two hot-swappable 259.2 Wh packs for up to 120 minutes of operation (up to 180 minutes with a 302 Wh extended battery). The main computer is an AMD Ryzen 7840HS with 32 GB RAM running control at 1 kHz. A ZED 2i stereo camera with a Jetson Orin NX 16 GB sits in the head, with an optional ZED X Mini and second Jetson in the body, for up to 314 TOPS combined. A tactical-grade IMU, speaker, microphone and wireless e-stop are standard."]},{"h":"Software and AI","p":["Westwood says the THEMIS operating system lets users control the robot and deploy tasks through large language models, pseudo-code and AI-assisted teleoperation. The vision compute handles perception, manipulation planning, ground depth mapping and foot placement."]},{"h":"Manufacturer","p":["Westwood Robotics is based in Los Angeles, with a service location in China. Besides THEMIS it sells BEAR actuators and the open-source BRUCE research humanoid."]},{"h":"Price and availability","p":["THEMIS can be ordered through Westwood's contact form, with 6 months of technical support included and an optional THEMIS Adventure service plan.
