Humanoid Robot Hire UK:
Why Robotics as a Service Is Changing Events
What if you could bring a humanoid robot to your next event without having to buy one?
That's exactly what we're making possible at Axis53.
Our Booster K1 humanoid robot Burt, is now available for hire across the UK as part of our Robotics as a Service (RaaS) offering.
Whether you're organising an exhibition, education event, corporate experience, product launch, brand activation or content shoot, you can bring a humanoid robot into the experience without the cost and commitment of purchasing one.
You don't need to buy a humanoid robot
Humanoid robotics is moving quickly.
But buying a humanoid robot isn't necessarily the right option for every organisation.
You may want to:
-
Try humanoid robotics before investing
-
Create something memorable at an event
-
Demonstrate AI and robotics to students
-
Generate content and PR
-
Attract visitors to an exhibition stand
-
Add something different to a brand activation
-
Give customers a hands-on robotics experience
That's where Robotics as a Service comes in.
Instead of buying the hardware, you hire the capability.
And with Axis53, that means Burt comes with an experienced operator.
You don't need to become a robotics expert.
We take care of the robot.
You concentrate on your audience.
Meet Burt — the Booster K1
Burt is our Booster K1 humanoid robot, designed for education, research, demonstrations and interaction.
We've already taken Burt into live events and education environments, where one thing has become very clear:
People are fascinated by humanoid robots.
They stop.
They ask questions.
They take photos.
They want to interact.
And they start thinking about what robots could mean for their own organisation.
That's exactly the opportunity we're bringing to businesses, education providers and event organisers through RaaS.
What can you hire a humanoid robot for?
The possibilities are much broader than simply putting a robot on an exhibition stand.
Exhibitions and trade shows
Getting people to stop at an exhibition stand can be difficult.
A humanoid robot gives visitors an immediate reason to come over and ask:
"What is that?"
Burt can help create a genuine talking point around your stand while giving your team an opportunity to start conversations with potential customers.
And unlike a static display, a robot can move, demonstrate and interact.
Education and STEM events
Humanoid robotics provides an opportunity to take subjects such as:
-
Artificial intelligence
-
Robotics
-
Programming
-
Computer vision
-
Embodied AI
-
Human-robot interaction
and turn them into something students can actually see and experience.
For schools, colleges and universities, hiring a robot can also be a much easier way to introduce humanoid robotics without committing to purchasing and maintaining a robot permanently.
Corporate events
Looking for something different for your next conference, company event or product launch?
A humanoid robot is difficult to ignore.
Burt can provide a memorable experience for delegates and give your event something people will want to photograph and share.
Brand activations
Modern marketing is increasingly about creating experiences rather than simply displaying advertising.
A humanoid robot gives brands an opportunity to create something genuinely different.
Imagine your customers walking into an activation and finding a humanoid robot waiting for them.
That's a conversation starter.
Content and PR
Need something different for your next campaign?
Robotics creates natural curiosity.
Burt can become part of:
-
Social media content
-
Promotional videos
-
Product launches
-
PR campaigns
-
Interviews
-
Photography
-
Digital campaigns
Sometimes the hardest part of creating engaging content is finding something people actually want to watch.
A humanoid robot helps.
Robotics as a Service: how does it work?
We've tried to keep it simple.
1. Tell us what you're planning
Give us your event date, location and what you want Burt to do.
2. We'll work out the best approach
We'll look at the venue, duration, audience and requirements.
3. We bring Burt
Axis53 handles delivery, setup and operation.
4. You focus on your audience
Our operator manages Burt throughout the booking.
No robotics training required.
No need to purchase hardware.
No need to worry about operating the robot yourself.
How much does it cost to hire a humanoid robot?
Axis53 humanoid robot hire starts from approximately:
£500 +VAT for a half day
or
£800 +VAT for a full day
Longer bookings, touring events and larger projects can be quoted separately.
Travel, accommodation and specific technical requirements may affect the final price.
The important thing is that you're accessing a humanoid robot without making a significant capital investment in hardware.
Why RaaS makes sense
Buying a robot can make sense when you have a long-term requirement.
But what if you only need one for:
one day?
one exhibition?
one school event?
one marketing campaign?
one product launch?
That's where RaaS can make far more sense.
You get access to the technology when you need it, without having to own, store and maintain the robot permanently.
What would you do with a humanoid robot for a day?
That's probably the most interesting question.
Would you put Burt on your exhibition stand?
Bring him into a classroom?
Use him at a football event?
Put him in front of the camera?
Have him welcome guests at a corporate event?
Create a completely new brand experience?
We're interested in finding out.
Because humanoid robots aren't just something to read about anymore.
You can actually bring one to your event.
