Check out all those modules! Some other nice shots.
These shots are fantastic. I have seen the PR2 up close at ICRA 2010 and its a sight to behold. The robot weighs 300+ pounds and had amazing object manipulation demonstrations. The 75 pound arms feel very flexible when shaking hands because of the large springs built in for compliant force control.

Universities all around the country have the PR2 now, go see one in a robotics lab near you !
