Robot dog hire: ORYX

What a robot dog can do at an event

ORYX is the four-legged Unitree Go2 robot. It walks, runs, turns on the spot and handles stairs and uneven terrain. On the operator's command, it sits, gives a paw, dances or does a trick that children and adults film straight away. It carries a branded banner or flag on its back, which makes it a moving brand carrier that gets wherever people are.

Unlike the humanoid, it does not need a perfectly flat floor. It handles grass, paving, gravel, gentle slopes and footpaths. That makes it the choice for festivals, outdoor promotion, sporting events and town festivals, where the programme takes place outdoors and on the move.

• Walking and running among visitors, escorting guests from the entrance
• Tricks on command: sit, paw, dance, spin, jump
• A branded banner or flag on its back, visible from a distance
• Interaction with children and families under the operator's supervision
• Outdoor work in dry weather, on grass, paving and gravel

Where the robot dog fits

The robot dog is strongest where there are lots of people and little stage. At a festival, it walks the grounds and people follow it. For outdoor promotion, it brings the brand to a square, a park or the front of a shopping centre. At a sporting event, it accompanies the start, runs along the track or welcomes spectators at the entrance.

At town festivals and sampling events, it works as a magnet: it stops, does a trick, and within a minute a small crowd forms around it. The hostesses have someone to approach, and the promoter gets exactly what they need, attention in one place.

Combining with the humanoid MONTARI

A tandem gives the best results. MONTARI works indoors, on stage and at the welcome, ORYX outdoors and in the crowd. At a corporate event with a terrace, the humanoid welcomes guests in the hall and the robot dog escorts arrivals from the car park. At a festival, the humanoid stands at the stand as a photo spot and the dog walks the grounds with a banner.

Both robots are controlled by an operator, and a tandem has two operators. A combination of robots is priced in the quote. You will find script ideas in the article a robot dog for events.

What the robot dog needs

Preparation is simpler than for the humanoid, but a few things always apply.

• A dry surface. Rain, snow and wet paving rule out deployment.
• A standard socket for charging batteries in the operator's back-up area
• A clear corridor or area where the dog can run without cables or obstacles
• A contact person who knows the programme and times
• Branding information in advance, so we can prepare a banner in the right size

Price and process of robot dog hire

Robot dog hire starts from 1 000 € per day with an operator for multi-day rentals, excluding VAT. One-day events, the script and transport are priced in the quote. Transport outside Bratislava is calculated by distance and is part of a single quote.

You send us the type of event, the date and the venue, and within 24 hours you have a quote. On the day, we arrive ahead of time, unpack the dog, check the route, and the programme runs in the agreed blocks. The operator swaps the battery during breaks, so a full-day deployment is not a problem. You will find everything else about hire on the robot hire page.
