The machines, and what each one is good for

Humanoids, quadrupeds, mobile manipulators and arms, available through our own fleet and our hardware partners. This page is here to make the choice easy: no spec sheets, just an honest read on which machine suits your event.

Tell us about your event

Start with the moment, then pick the machine

Most conversations start with the question of which robot is the best one. The more useful question is the other one: what should happen for your guests? Are they welcomed, do they see your product working, do they get something handed to them, do they leave with a photo? Tell us the moment you have in mind and we will tell you plainly which machine carries it, and which one you can leave out.

Humanoids

Two-legged machines at human scale feel the most immediate, because they move like someone standing opposite you. A guest comes closer, brings a colleague over and films a minute to show their team later. That is the moment most people picture when they think about a robot at their event.

01

Unitree G1

The G1 is our main machine and it performs the full programme: greeting and speaking, the boxing show, the handover, the photo moment. It walks freely on two legs, driven by reinforcement-learning policies running at 50 Hz. Above all, it is the machine our motion pipeline targets: if you can film it, it can learn it. If you settle on a single machine, this is the one.

02

AgiBot A2

A second humanoid we bring in through our hardware partners. We use it when two humanoids should be on the floor at the same time, or when you deliberately want a second look alongside the G1. It suits greeting and the photo moment well.

03

AgiBot X2

A humanoid for situations where you want a pair, or a change of pace across the day. On longer event days two machines can take turns so there is always something happening on your floor. Ask early: availability depends on the date.

04

MagicLab

Another humanoid platform from our partner network, which we plan in for greeting, photo moments and calmer appearances. It is the alternative when your preferred date is tight, or when you want a different look from the G1. Which act runs well on it is something we settle with you before we commit.

Quadrupeds

Four-legged machines are agile, handle stairs and uneven ground, and work well next to a humanoid. Most of the time they are the second attraction, and that is exactly what they are good at.

01

AgiBot D1-W

A four-legged robot that walks over steps and uneven ground and can move among people. It works well as a second attraction beside the humanoid, for instance when a group gathers at the front and you want something for the guests further back too. It suits photos just as well as a short demonstration in between.

Quadruped · on request

02

Direct Drive Tech

A second quadruped from our partner network, which we plan in for demonstrations that involve movement through the space. It is a good choice when the four-legged machine is the lead act and you are not booking a humanoid. What movement we can promise depends on your floor and the room you have.

Mobile manipulators

An arm on a moving base: the machine drives to a spot, picks something up and brings it back. This is the category for demonstrations where your own system or your own product is the point.

01

Dobot E6 on an AMMR base

A robot arm on a mobile base that navigates on its own. It lets you show a sequence that actually moves through the room: drive over, capture with the camera, pick the object up, bring it back and report the data into your system. For a link into your own software, plan on around four weeks of lead time plus a remote integration test.

02

Fairino

Fairino comes in all sizes, and we pick the one that fits your space and the weight of the part being moved. It makes sense when you want to show a real handling step from your own operation rather than a generic demo. Tell us what the object weighs and how big it is and we will tell you which size fits.

03

UniX AI

A humanoid torso with two arms on a wheeled base. You get the human presence and the arm movement without the machine having to walk, which is calmer, needs less space and fits where things are tighter. A good choice when your space is limited but you still want a figure on the floor.

Arms and hands

Fixed arms need little space, repeat the same sequence all day and are the simplest way to bring movement onto your floor. For close-up work and fine grasping, the hand joins in.

01

Rokae X5

A robot arm for one cleanly repeated sequence in a fixed spot. It suits you when your product carries the attention and the machine simply shows it, picks it up or passes it along. It runs through the whole event day without anyone from your team having to step in.

02

Universal Robots

Universal Robots come in all sizes, and many guests from industry know these arms from their own operations. That is exactly the advantage: the conversation turns to your application straight away instead of to the machine. We pick the size to suit your space and what needs to be moved.

03

Wuji Hand

A dexterous hand for demonstrations where people step close and look carefully. It shows grasping in detail and works well on a table where conversations are happening. It does not change the limit on handovers: business cards and flat paper cannot be gripped, larger objects can.

What you want, and what we suggest for it

Five cases we hear again and again, with our honest recommendation. If yours is not among them, just describe it to us in two sentences.

  • Unitree G1

    You want as many guests as possible to remember it afterwards — The Unitree G1, either as a host or with Fight Night. A walking humanoid at human scale is the thing guests bring colleagues back to see, and it is still being filmed late in the day.

  • Live Demo with the Dobot E6 on an AMMR base, Fairino or Universal Robots

    Your own product or system should be the centre of it — A Live Demo with a mobile manipulator or an arm wired into your software: voice command, a call into your system, execution, data reported back. Plan on around four weeks of lead time and a remote integration test.

  • Giveaway handover by the humanoid

    You want to hand something to your guests — The giveaway handover by the humanoid, with one clear limit: business cards, flyers and flat paper cannot be gripped. Choose a larger object with something to grip and it works reliably and looks good.

  • AgiBot D1-W or Direct Drive Tech

    You want a second attraction alongside the main act — A quadruped. It handles steps and uneven ground, moves among people and gives your guests something to watch while the humanoid's act runs at the front.

  • UniX AI, Rokae X5 or Universal Robots

    You only have a small floor area — An arm in a fixed spot, or UniX AI on its wheeled base. Both need considerably less room than a walking humanoid, which wants clear floor and distance from guests. An arm brings movement into your space without anyone having to step aside.

What the machine needs from your space

Four things come from you, and we bring the rest: transport and travel, the setup day, the machines and an operator who is on site for the whole event day. If any of these four is difficult, tell us early, because there is usually a way around it.

  • on request

    Floor space — A walking humanoid needs clear floor and a little distance from guests, while an arm or a wheeled base gets by with much less. Send us a floor plan or a photo of the space and we will tell you in advance what works well there.

  • on request

    Power — We need power at the machine's own spot so it can charge through the day without cables crossing a walkway. At trade fairs and in many venues power is ordered through the organiser or the building, so book it in good time: it is the most common gap.

  • on request

    Network — For a Live Demo that reaches into your system we need reliable network access. The Wi-Fi on site is often weak in a crowded room, so we test the connection remotely beforehand and plan a fallback.

  • plus access on the setup day

    A defined spot for the machine — Set aside one defined spot where the machine stands, performs and rests between acts, ideally placed so people can watch without blocking the way past. On the setup day we need access to that spot to build everything up and run the whole act through once.

Questions

We do not know which machine is right. How do we start?

Describe your event, your space and the moment you want for your guests in two or three sentences. We will come back with a machine and an act, and we will also say so when something smaller or cheaper would serve you better. A floor plan or a photo of the space helps a lot.

Can you build a movement that is specific to us?

Yes. We track a source video with MediaPipe pose tracking, fit the pose to a rigid body with fixed bone lengths and retarget the motion onto the Unitree G1 in simulation. There we rehearse it until it runs safely, and only then does it go onto the real machine. Plan on around two weeks for a simple custom behaviour, and around four weeks plus a remote integration test for a full link into your system.

Can the robot hand out our business cards or flyers?

No, and we would rather say so now than on the day: business cards and flat paper cannot be gripped by the hand. Anything larger with something to grip works reliably, though, such as a small tin, a cup, a box or a product sample. Tell us your giveaway early and we will tell you whether it works.

Does someone from our team have to operate the machine?

No. An operator of ours is on site for the whole event day, sets up the day before and looks after charging, timing and breaks. Your team can look after the conversations that come out of it. The act is rehearsed in simulation beforehand and never arrives untested.

Hold a date

Send us the fair, the dates and your stand size. You get a quote with a run of show, not just a number.
