How it works
Robots used
- Humanoid
- Quadruped
- Industrial Arm
Ways to buy it
- Rental — the machine for days or weeks.
- Service — you pay for the outcome (one inspection, one show, X acres).
Bot or Not?
A robot makes sense when…
- The job is high, dangerous, or hard to reach
- It is huge or repetitive (acres, nights, square metres)
- You need data you will compare over time
- You need eyes on it right now
Hire a human when…
- It is small, low and one-off
- It needs hands, judgement or a repair
- Weather, permits or timing make robots awkward
- Nobody has defined the job yet
Here's the catch for this job
- Book drone shows 4-8 weeks ahead minimum for permits.
- Ask for a backup weather date and what happens if wind cancels.
- Robot rentals usually include an operator/handler — confirm.
