Pricing · Monaco and the French Riviera
What a day with the robot costs.
Three ways to work with us: hire a robot with an operator for your event, hire the developer humanoid when you want to programme it, or commission software and an AI assistant. Every rate below includes an operator, because the robot never performs unattended.
Event humanoid, MONTARI
€2,000 per day with an operator
MONTARI, our Unitree G1 event humanoid, with an operator for the whole booking. The rate shown is the multi-day rate and excludes VAT. A single day is quoted separately and costs more, because the setup is the same for one day as for three.
- One robot, delivered, set up and packed away by us
- An operator with the robot for the whole booking
- About two hours of active show per battery, swapped on site
- Your logo printed on the chest decal
- A running order agreed with you before the day
- Spoken lines in English, French or both
Developer humanoid, NOVA
€3,000 per day with an operator
The same body as MONTARI with the full SDK open, for research days, demonstrations you want to control yourself and clients building their own behaviour. Multi-day rate, excluding VAT, single days quoted separately.
- NOVA with the Unitree SDK available on site
- An operator and an engineer who knows the platform
- Developer access for your team during the booking
- Safe space, tethering and testing arranged with the venue
- Branding and spoken lines as on the event humanoid
- Recorded sequences handed over at the end of the day
Software and AI projects
On request per project
Custom behaviour, motion sequences, voice, show control, integrations and AI assistant builds. Every project is scoped and quoted on its own, because a three-line greeting and a robot that answers questions about your catalogue are not the same job.
- A written scope before anything is built
- A fixed project price, not an open meter
- Custom motion, voice and show control
- AI assistant trained on your venue or catalogue
- ROS 2, the Unitree SDK, Python and C++
- Handover, documentation and a support window
What every booking contains
- Delivery of the robot to your venue, setup and removal afterwards
- An operator who runs the show and stays with the robot throughout
- Batteries and charging, swapped on site between blocks
- Your logo on the chest in place of our wordmark
- A running order written with you, with the lines the robot speaks
- A site check of the floor, the route and the lighting before doors open
- Public liability insurance for the robot and the operator
- A single contact who answers within 24 hours from enquiry to invoice

How much does it cost to hire a robot for an event in Monaco?
MONTARI, the event humanoid, starts at €2,000 per day with an operator. NOVA, the developer humanoid, starts at €3,000 per day with an operator. Both figures are the multi-day rate and exclude VAT. A single day, a custom script, travel outside Monaco and staging are quoted separately. Send us the date and the venue and you have a firm price within 24 hours.
What makes the price go up or down?
Four things. The number of days, because consecutive days are cheaper per day than a single one. The number of robots, since two humanoids working a room need two operators. The amount of custom work, meaning bespoke motion, a written script or an AI assistant rather than our standard repertoire. And the venue, because a terrace above the circuit during race week takes more access planning than a boutique on the Golden Square.
Do you take a deposit to hold the date?
Yes. We hold a date on a signed quote and a fifty per cent deposit, with the balance due after the event on thirty day terms. Until the deposit reaches us the date stays open to other clients, which matters in Monaco during Grand Prix week and Yacht Show week, when the fleet is booked months ahead.
What happens if we cancel or the event moves?
Move the date and we carry the deposit across to the new one if the fleet is free, with no penalty. Cancel more than thirty days before and the deposit is refunded less any custom development already done. Inside thirty days the deposit is retained, because the robot and the operator are held out of the calendar for you. The exact terms sit in the quote so nothing is a surprise.
Do you charge for travel outside Monaco?
Nice, Cannes, Antibes, Menton, Villefranche-sur-Mer and Èze are a short run for us and travel is usually a modest line on the quote. Saint-Tropez and anything further, or a booking that needs the team to stay overnight, carries travel and accommodation at cost. It is always shown as its own item, never hidden in the day rate.
Are your prices with or without VAT?
Every figure on this page excludes VAT. VAT is added on the invoice at the rate that applies to your booking and your company. If you are a business registered outside Monaco and France, tell us when you enquire and we will confirm how it is treated before you sign anything.
