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.
Humanoids in showrooms and product launches
Start with an approved presentation and short dialogue with staff handover. A fixed display point is easier to specify than whole-store service. Define updates for prices, stock and promotions. The robot should not invent commercial promises. If software generates answers, test out-of-scope questions and connection loss.
Shelves, packaging and backrooms as a research project
Shelf replenishment needs recognition, grasping, package orientation and placement control. Hands alone do not provide this. Start with a few products, fixed heights and a controlled zone. Measure package damage, placement accuracy and manual correction. Separate backroom trials from customer contact. A show model may lack the control access needed for manipulation research.
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.
