Use Cases
Where humanoid and quadruped robots create the most value
Each scenario includes typical goals and a practical recommendation so visitors can quickly recognize the right fit.
R&D labs and robotics research
Build experiments around autonomy, perception, locomotion, HRI, SLAM, mapping, and SDK integration.
- Humanoid: G1 / R1 for interaction, presentation, and manipulation research.
- Quadruped: Go2 / A2 for mobility, navigation, and field testing.
Education and training programs
Support hands-on STEM classes, clubs, demos, university labs, capstones, and project-based robotics learning.
- Humanoid: G1 EDU for classroom engagement and HRI demos.
- Quadruped: Go2 EDU for programming, autonomy, and mobility labs.
Retail, showroom and brand experience
Create memorable customer moments with greetings, guided demos, photo activations, and scripted product stories.
- Humanoid: Best for hosting, talking points, and stage presence.
- Quadruped: Best for dynamic movement and high-impact demos.
Museums and science centers
Use robots for public education, scheduled demonstrations, exhibit storytelling, and guided audience interaction.
- Humanoid: Storytelling, presenting, and Q&A style experiences.
- Quadruped: Roaming demos and movement-based exhibit moments.
Hotels, conferences and events
Welcome guests, support wayfinding, attract booth traffic, and run repeatable scripted demos for large audiences.
- Humanoid: Host, greet, introduce, and answer planned questions.
- Quadruped: Roaming engagement and memorable crowd-facing demos.
Media, content and film production
Plan repeatable robot movement for ads, music videos, short-form content, interviews, and production shoots.
- Humanoid: Humanlike presence for narrative and presenter shots.
- Quadruped: Action movement, following shots, and futuristic visuals.
