Robot hire in Linz

Between the factory floor and media art

Linz is an industrial centre and at the same time a city where digital art and technology are debated in public. That mix is ideal for a humanoid. At a specialist event it shows how far robotics has come. In a cultural format it becomes a stage character that leaves the audience amazed and thinking.

In both cases one rule applies: the robot never works alone. Our operator controls movement, programme and safety for the entire event.

Typical bookings in Linz

• Industrial events: company anniversaries, supplier days and factory tours with a moment people talk about afterwards.
• Specialist trade fairs: the humanoid draws visitors to your stand, see robot for a trade fair.
• Technology and art formats: performance, panel discussion or live demonstration, more under robot for technology events.
• Public outdoor events: in dry weather the robot dog ORYX is the more robust choice.

Humanoid or robot dog?

The humanoid MONTARI (Unitree G1) is the right choice for a stage, a hall or a trade fair stand. It needs a clean, flat area of about 3 × 3 metres and works outdoors only in dry weather.

The robot dog ORYX (Unitree Go2) also moves on paving and grass, jumps, carries a banner and is more agile among people. At larger events with indoor and outdoor areas we deploy both. Ideas are collected in the article a robot dog at your event.

What the venue must provide

Industrial sites and cultural venues have different requirements. In a production hall it is about floor surface, safety distances and the site's access rules. In an event space it is more about lighting, the stage and the route from the entrance to the performance area.

• A clean, flat area of about 3 × 3 metres, without thick carpet
• A standard power socket for charging batteries
• Parking or a loading zone near the entrance for the transport case
• A lockable room if the robot stays on site overnight
• A contact person who knows the running order

How the script is created

Once you confirm, we agree with you when the robot appears and what it should do. From that we build the choreography, the sequence of movements and the robot's spoken lines, prepared in advance in the language of your event. For an art or technology event that can be a short performance of its own; for an industrial event it is more often a welcome and an appearance during the managing director's speech.

How the robot's behaviour is prepared is explained in the article how a robot's behaviour is programmed for an event.

Travel, running order and price

Bratislava to Linz is about 3 hours. For a morning appearance we travel the day before, for an evening programme usually on the same day. The robot travels in its transport case in the car with the operator, and we unpack on site about an hour before the first appearance.

The humanoid's battery lasts around two hours of active use, after which the operator swaps it for a charged one. Coordination with our team is possible in English.

Hire starts from 1 000 € per day with an operator for multi-day hire, excluding VAT. Single-day events, the script and transport are priced in the quote. Travel and transport to Linz are included in the quote. If there is another date in Upper Austria or Vienna in the same week, we combine them, which lowers travel costs.

At multi-day specialist fairs the robot stays on site overnight, and the operator covers the agreed blocks on each fair day.
