Before the day
We agree what he does and roughly when, send you the public liability certificate and a written risk assessment, and check the practical things: where the van can get to, whether the route in has steps, and where the nearest power is. If the venue has poor signal we want to know, because the live language ability needs a connection.
Arrival
He travels in a case and comes out of it on site. Setting up takes a few minutes. The operator stays with him from that moment until he goes back in the case, and is never further away than arm's reach.
How the appearance runs
In bursts, not continuously. A dance gathers a crowd, then he talks to people, then there is a lull and we do it again. Two hours on site is typical, and planning it as a rhythm rather than a two hour performance is what makes it work for both the crowd and the robot.
The safety side, which is less dramatic than people fear
One of our crew does nothing but hold a space around him. Photographs start with no contact and no arm movements until the operator is happy. People are asked to stand back rather than lean in. None of it is heavy handed and most guests never notice it is happening.
Afterwards
We film throughout and you get the clips for your own channels. For most organisers that turns out to be half the value, because the content outlives the day by a long way.
Thinking about a date?
Tell us roughly when and where. You will have a real price back the same day, and there is nothing to pay to ask.
