Robot rental for events

The robot every guest will film.

The same Unitree G1 from the Spring Festival Gala dance and the Wang Leehom concert. At your event.

Trained operator on site Damage cover included Booked instantly online

Every event looks the same.

Bigger venue. Better DJ. Another photo booth. The bill goes up. The guests still scroll past every photo on Monday.

The thing that stops the room is something none of them have ever seen in person.

Weddings & private events

Bride walks in. Two hours later, the robot walks in. Your wedding becomes the one everyone is talking about.

Trade shows & exhibitions

Your booth becomes the booth with the queue. Every other stand competes with banners. You don't.

Brand launches & activations

Product drop. Store opening. Campaign reveal. The video is on every feed before the event ends.

Multi-day campaigns & content shoots

Three days at your retail flagship. A week of content production. A two-week pop-up residency. You operate the robot.

The video posts itself.

Guests film. Guests share. Your event ends up across every feed before it's over.

The booth gets the queue.

Other stands compete with banners. You compete with a walking humanoid. The leads find you.

The story everyone tells Monday.

"Did you see the robot at [your event]?" — that's the line you paid for.

The Unitree G1.

The robot from the Spring Festival Gala. The Wang Leehom concert. The one Elon Musk reposted with a single word: “Impressive.”

Before you book.

What events work best with a humanoid robot?

Weddings, trade shows, brand launches, product reveals, retail activations, conference keynotes, store openings — any event where stopping the room matters. If a guest would film it and post it, the robot fits.

How long does the operator stay?

Up to 8 hours of active performance time per day. Setup and tear-down don't count against your 8 hours — that's separate. For 1-day events, you can add Extended Hours at checkout if your day runs longer (up to 4 extra hours). 2 and 3 day bookings already cover repeat days, so Extended Hours isn't offered.

Will the operator follow our event schedule?

Yes. The operator coordinates with your event lead 90 minutes before doors open and runs performances on your cue throughout the day. You can hand them a written schedule or call performances live.

Do you provide a Certificate of Insurance for the venue?

Yes — included free for Full-Service Event bookings. Email [email protected] at least 48 hours before delivery if your venue requires one.

What if our event is outdoors?

The G1 is not weather-rated. Outdoor performance is only possible under solid cover (tent, marquee, awning) on a level dry surface. Open-air events with rain or grass are not workable.

Can guests interact with the robot?

Yes, at controlled times. Photo ops, handshakes, and brief interactions are managed by the operator. Guests stay outside the run zone during active performance — that's the operator's job to enforce.

Can the robot speak?

The robot plays pre-recorded audio (announcements, sound effects, music) but doesn't generate live speech. If you need spoken dialogue, we record it in advance and program it into the routine.

Can the robot do something specific for our brand?

Yes. Every Full-Service Event includes a — your robot's custom routine built around your event, with speech in any language, custom gestures, props, and dance. Pre-recorded and rehearsed before delivery. No extra cost.

What happens if the robot is damaged at our event?

Damage cover is included on every booking. Your exposure stops at the refundable deposit. We absorb the rest.

How quickly can I book a robot for my event?

Booking takes about two minutes. Pick your dates on the booking page and you'll see live availability for your region. Most markets have capacity within 2–3 weeks. Lock your date before it goes.

Reserve early. Our fleet is limited.

Your date is the one thing we can't move. Lock it now.
