How Much Does It Cost to Rent a Robot for an Event?
Robot rental is priced by the day. Robot dogs start around $479/day, full-size humanoids run from about $3,399/day up to $6,499/day for a flagship stage model, and day rates typically include delivery and an on-site operator.
Who rents an event robot
- Event planners building a budget for robot entertainment
- Marketing teams comparing a robot to other activation line items
- Producers pricing a stage show or product reveal
- Anyone deciding between renting and buying a robot
What this covers
The first question every planner asks is "what does it actually cost?" — and most robot pages bury it. Pricing is simple once you see it: you pay a day rate per robot, and the rate scales with how capable and how large the robot is.
A backflipping robot dog is the budget crowd magnet; a full-size, conversational, stage-ready humanoid is the premium centerpiece. Everything in between is priced accordingly.
Popular picks
- Robot dogs (quadrupeds) — from ~$479/day for the AgiBot D1 Pro; the budget crowd magnet that does backflips and tricks

- Compact humanoids — from ~$3,399/day for the best-selling AgiBot X2
- Full-size stage humanoids — up to ~$6,499/day for the AgiBot A3 with acrobatics and 10-hour endurance
How renting an event robot works
- 01
Start with the robot type
Robot dogs are the entry point, humanoids are the premium tier. The robot you pick sets the base day rate.
- 02
Add your date and duration
Rates are per day. A one-day activation is a single day rate; multi-day shows multiply from there.
- 03
Factor delivery and operator
Day rates generally bundle delivery, setup, an on-site operator, and pack-down — so the quoted number is close to all-in.
- 04
Layer optional extras
Custom branding, character design, choreography, or extra units for fleet effects can add to the base rate.
Two budgets, two very different robots
A startup wants a crowd magnet at a $1k entertainment budget. A robot dog doing backflips at ~$479/day lands the photo moment with room to spare.
A national brand wants a full-size humanoid to host a stage reveal. A flagship model at ~$6,499/day delivers a 173cm performer with acrobatics — a centerpiece, priced like one.
