HUMANOID FIELD TRIAL SERVICE
Humanoid Field Trial Service
Put a humanoid to work
on your site for three days
Orboh has run humanoid robots on construction sites, on farms and at industrial waste sorting sites. A short trial with full-body teleoperation shows what a robot can do on yours.
- Up to 3 free meetings
- Trials from ¥100,000 a day
- Next step decided within 2 weeks

HOW IT WORKS
Three meetings free. Then a field trial or an advisory contract
The first three meetings are free: we learn about your site and the work. From the fourth, we continue either with a field trial, where the robot works on your site, or with an advisory contract, where we keep working on the plan without a trial.
FIRST
Meetings
You show us photos and drawings of the site and the work you have in mind; we tell you what today’s robots can and cannot do. We aim to decide the next step within about three weeks of the first meeting.
Free, up to 3 meetings
From the 4th
choose one →
A
Field trial
We bring the robot to your site and check, by full-body teleoperation, whether it can do the actual work. It is a test of fit for your site. The period is fixed up front and billed by the day, and you receive the results as a report.
¥100,000 a day + ¥100,000 preparation
B
Advisory
Without a trial, we work through which tasks to start with and what the site needs, in regular meetings.
From ¥150,000 a month (weekly meeting)
PRICING
The trial price follows the number of days
We bill for the days the robot works on site, not for a guaranteed result. Travel (including transport and lodging) and shipping are a flat fee; only development needed to fit your site is quoted separately.
ESTIMATE
Field trial estimate
Trial days × ¥100,000 + ¥100,000 preparation
Example: a three-day trial is ¥400,000. Transport and lodging are included in the ¥100,000 preparation fee.
Advisory
Each meeting is planned as three hours: one hour together and two hours of preparation. This contract is for continuing without a field trial.
REPORT
What you need to decide the next step
The value of a field trial is less the footage of the robot working than knowing what to do next on your site. The report covers four things.
Results by task
For each task we tried: how far the robot got, where it stopped, and how many times a person had to step in.
→ Tells you which tasks to prioritise
Site conditions
What gets in the robot’s way: aisle widths, floors and steps, lighting, power, and the paths of the people working nearby.
→ Tells you what to prepare on site first
Path to autonomy
What data, and how much of it, it would take for the robot to do the task on its own, and in what stages.
→ Lets you decide whether to invest further
Video record
Footage of the work during the trial. If you wish, we also record the robot’s motion data.
→ Ready to use for internal briefings and approvals
Based on the report, we decide the next step within two weeks of the first trial
- —Run another trial, on a different task or site
- —Start a project to make the task autonomous (quoted separately)
- —Continue under an advisory contract to prepare for deployment
- —Hold off on deployment for now
FIRST TASKS
Start with work that fits the space as it is
We break the site’s work into steps and start with those a humanoid can try today. These are tasks Orboh has run, and the next candidates.
Carrying long materials
Lifting and carrying long metal stock
Done on site
Repetitive finishing
Applying putty with a spatula
Done on site
Collecting and clearing scrap
Gathering, sorting and removing scrap
Done in-house
Assisting workers
Holding parts, handing over and collecting tools
Candidate
Which task to try first is decided in the first meeting, from photos of your site and its workflow.
FAQ
Before you start
What if the trial does not work out?＋
We bill for time, not results. The period is fixed up front, and you receive a report on what we learned, what did not work, and what to try next.
What do we have after the trial?＋
A report covering results by task, site conditions, the path to autonomy, and video. It is what you need to decide whether to run another trial, move toward autonomy, or hold off.
How many free meetings are there?＋
Up to three. From the fourth, we continue with either a field trial or an advisory contract. We aim to decide within about three weeks of the first meeting.
Does the robot work autonomously?＋
In the trial, a person operates the robot’s whole body remotely (teleoperation) to see whether it can be used on your site. We can record motion data if you wish, but a trial of about three days does not go as far as training the robot to work on its own. A project toward autonomy is quoted separately.
When do we decide what comes after the trial?＋
Within two weeks of the first trial, together with you. Based on the report, we choose between another trial, an autonomy project, or an advisory contract.
Is there heavy work on your site a robot could take on?
Industrial waste, construction, agriculture — tell us about the work that is hardest to staff. Our engineers come to the site and work out which tasks a robot can take over.
