Describe one task, the space without unnecessary personal data, object dimensions and the current workflow. Include timing, location, budget and acceptance owners. Ask about robot version, software, autonomy, operator role and operating limits. Separate current functions from planned updates. This brief helps compare the actual scope of different suppliers.
Start with farm support areas
A controlled packing station or empty-crate task may be a starting point. Fixed heights, firm flooring and controlled light make a trial easier to specify than field conditions. Listed models are manipulation or research candidates, not agricultural robots with a confirmed harvesting service. Define packaging, mass, food contact and station-cleaning conditions.
Why is seasonal harvesting more demanding?
Fruit can be leaf-obscured, variably ripe and difficult to detach gently. The system must recognise the target, plan hand access and avoid damage. Dust, moisture, sunlight and uneven ground alter perception and movement. We cannot claim a ready humanoid for general strawberry or apple harvesting. This is a research direction requiring evidence for the crop and configuration.
Budget: hardware, commissioning and maintenance
Compare purchase, fixed-period rental and an outcome-defined pilot. Leasing or subscription availability needs confirmation for the device and customer. Include transport, integration, licences, training, operators, parts and downtime. A foreign base price does not establish an installed Polish project cost. Use your quotations and measured labour time, not a promise of replacing a full-time role.

Deliverable to agree
Agree success and stop criteria before testing. Report completed tasks, failures, human assistance and recovery time. Match parts by serial number and hardware revision; clarify diagnostics and responsibility after software updates. Results may support expansion, scope changes or ending the pilot. HumanoidPoint helps prepare selection and supplier discussions; model lists do not confirm stock, manufacturer authorisation or service availability.
