Humanoid Robot or Robot Dog: Which Suits Your Event?

The humanoid robot: a performer with a human shape

A humanoid robot has a human-like build, with a head, torso, arms and legs. That shape is exactly what makes it work so well at events: people instinctively relate to it, watch its gestures and want to stand next to it for a photo.

At events, a humanoid robot takes on roles that you would normally give to a performer or a host. It can greet guests, pose for photographs, and dance to music in a prepared routine, either on stage or among the guests.

• human figure, dancing and gestures
• welcoming guests and posing for photos together
• well suited to stages, corporate parties, conferences and product launches

The robot dog: an agile technology attraction

A robot dog walks on four legs and moves with an agility that surprises most people when they first see it. It comes across less as a performer and more as a fascinating piece of technology, something guests want to watch up close.

It is especially appealing to children and tech-minded audiences, and it works best as an addition to a show or to a booth rather than as the main act on stage.

• four legs and agile movement
• attractive for children and technology-focused audiences
• suitable as an addition to a show or a booth

Side by side: how to decide

The best way to choose is to start with the role you want the robot to play at your event, rather than with the technology itself. These questions usually point in the right direction:

• Do you want a moment on stage, such as an opening or a dance number? A humanoid is the natural choice.
• Do you want guests to interact and take photos with the robot as if it were a host? A humanoid fits this role.
• Is your audience mainly families, children or technology enthusiasts? A robot dog can be a strong draw.
• Do you need something to complement an existing show or booth? A robot dog works well as an addition.
• Is the event large, with several programme moments? A combination may be worth considering.

Combining robots at larger events

At bigger events, a humanoid robot can perform together with other robots. This can make a programme richer, for example with a humanoid on stage and another robot adding interest elsewhere in the space.

The specific line-up of equipment is always confirmed by our production team for your date. Availability and the requirements of the venue both play a role, so it is worth mentioning in your inquiry that you are interested in more than one robot.

What stays the same whichever robot you choose

Whichever robot appears at your event, it is controlled by a trained operator who watches the surroundings and keeps a safe distance from guests. Appearances are planned around your schedule, and the space, floor surface and backstage area are checked in advance.

RobotShow prepares programmes for events across the Czech Republic, and events abroad are handled individually.
