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.
From a workstation task to humanoid selection
Start with one workflow: picking a part at a defined location, moving it and placing it within the next operation’s tolerance. Describe mass, centre of gravity, gripping surface and part variants. Feeding an empty container and force-controlled assembly are different projects. Consider humanoids where arms, mobility and human-oriented equipment are useful. Walking ability alone does not establish economic value.
How should industrial demonstrations be interpreted?
Walker S2, Atlas, Apollo and Digit represent different industrial approaches. Treat them as candidates for technical discussions, not interchangeable machines. A factory video does not establish interventions, full-shift cycle time or Polish availability. Request a trial with your part, operator involvement and current contractual scope. Results from a previous generation do not automatically apply to a new model.
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.
