> A humanoid robot for a conference, trade fair or event in Warsaw is rented together with operators who bring it to the venue, start it up and run it for the whole event. Success depends less on the robot itself than on preparing for the specific venue: the delivery and loading route, the space on the stand or stage, the network, noise levels and the conversation script. In Warsaw these conditions differ a lot between exhibition halls, the national stadium and a hotel conference room.

## How do you rent a humanoid robot for an event in Warsaw?

Renting a humanoid robot for an event in Warsaw starts with three pieces of information: the venue, the hours the robot should be present, and its role (welcoming guests, working a stand, appearing on stage, joining a panel, recording content). From that, the provider picks a model, prepares what the robot will say for that specific event and plans the logistics. In an operator-led rental the robot is not dropped off and left behind — a technical team brings it in, starts it, manages batteries and guest safety, and takes it away afterwards.

This is how MERA Robotics, a Warsaw-based company, works: it rents out humanoid robots with its own operators for conferences, trade fairs, galas, product launches and corporate events in Poland and abroad. The general process is described step by step in our guide [Humanoid robot rental for events](https://merarobotics.com/blog/humanoid-robot-rental-for-events); this article focuses on what is specific to Warsaw venues.

## Which event venues in and around Warsaw should organisers know?

Large Warsaw events take place in a few kinds of venues: exhibition halls, the national stadium, congress centres and hotels. Each one makes different demands on a robot.

| Venue | Type | What the venue states | What to check for a robot |
|---|---|---|---|
| [EXPO XXI](https://www.expoxxi.pl/), ul. Prądzyńskiego 12/14, Warsaw | exhibition halls in the Wola district | 4 halls, 15,000 m² of space | large, loud halls; space at the stand and the route from unloading |
| [PGE Narodowy](https://pgenarodowy.pl/) | stadium with a conference and congress centre | over 50 thousand m² of business space | long corridors, moving between levels, vehicle access control |
| [Ptak Warsaw Expo](https://warsawexpo.eu/o-nas/), Al. Katowicka 62, Nadarzyn | exhibition centre on the outskirts of Warsaw | 143,000 m² of exhibition space, conference rooms for 10 to 500 people | travel from outside the city, long distances within the site |
| [Global Expo](https://www.globalexpo.pl/), ul. Modlińska 6D, Warsaw | exhibition and event hall in Białołęka | 1,500 parking spaces, conference rooms | agreeing the unloading point at the hall |

On top of that there are hotels and office buildings with conference rooms — there the problem is rarely floor space, and more often lifts, a narrow back-of-house area and getting through the lobby at busy times.

### Trade fairs and a robot on the stand

At trade fairs a humanoid robot usually works at a stand: it approaches passers-by, talks about the exhibitor's offer and poses for photos. Ptak Warsaw Expo hosts, among others, WARSAW INDUSTRY AUTOMATICA, which the organiser describes as an international trade fair for industrial automation and robotics. At events like that a robot on the stand is no longer a novelty on its own — what matters is what it says about the offer, not just that it walks.

## What do robot logistics look like at a Warsaw venue?

Logistics for a humanoid robot in Warsaw come down to one question: how does the robot in its transport case get from the van to the stand or stage, and where is its back-of-house base? Before the event, agree with the venue or organiser on:

- **Access and unloading** — build-up hours, vehicle registration, passes for the technical crew. Large halls and the stadium usually have fixed build-up windows.
- **Route to the stand or stage** — thresholds, ramps, freight lifts, walking distance. In the stadium and large halls the routes are longer than in a hotel.
- **Back-of-house area** — a lockable space for the case, chargers and spare batteries, with a power socket.
- **The robot's working zone** — free space around the robot, away from the edge of the stage and from spots where crowds build up.
- **Network** — a robot holding live conversations needs a stable internet connection. In crowded halls public Wi-Fi is often overloaded, so a dedicated or backup connection is safer.

The MERA fleet consists of Unitree G1 robots (about 132 cm, about 35 kg) and full-size Unitree H2 robots (about 182 cm). The robots run on batteries, and the operators have spare batteries ready.

## How should you prepare a robot for a conference in Warsaw?

A humanoid robot at a conference works best when what it says is prepared for that specific event: who the organiser is, what the programme looks like, who is speaking and which topics matter to the audience. At MERA Robotics this takes the form of an event profile with knowledge about the client and the programme, which the robot's conversations with guests are built on.

A practical preparation checklist:

1. **The robot's role in the programme** — welcomes at registration, a stage entrance, a panel slot, conversations during breaks, content for social media.
2. **Content** — a description of the company and its offer, speaker names, the schedule, topics the robot should avoid.
3. **Language** — international conferences in Warsaw often need more than one language; the MERA OS system handles conversations in more than 30 languages, including Polish and English, with a voice matched to each language.
4. **Rehearsal** — a short on-site check: sound, microphone, distance from speakers, the path onto the stage.
5. **Plan B** — what the robot does if the network drops or the schedule changes.

## Noise, crowds and safety: what is different about large halls?

In large exhibition halls the main challenge for a robot talking to guests is noise. Voice conversations work noticeably better when the guest stands close to the robot and the stand is not right next to the stage PA. When planning the stand:

- place the robot away from speakers and walls that reflect sound,
- leave free space in front of the robot for several people at once,
- agree who on the stand team manages the flow of people when a crowd forms.

The operator uses a phone app to control the robot's movement and gestures, so they can stop it at any moment or walk it to another spot.

## Which robot should you choose for an event in Warsaw?

The right robot depends mainly on its role at the event. The smaller Unitree G1 works well at a stand and in one-to-one conversations because it is easier to move between zones. The full-size Unitree H2 is about the height of an adult, so it is more visible on stage and in large spaces. A robot can also take on a brand identity — its own name, character and knowledge of the offer.

## How much does humanoid robot rental in Warsaw cost?

The cost of renting a humanoid robot in Warsaw depends on how long the robot is present, the location and the logistics, so every quote is individual. Enquiries to MERA Robotics can be sent to contact@merarobotics.com with the venue, date, hours and the robot's role.


## FAQ

### Can you rent a humanoid robot with operators in Warsaw?

Yes. Humanoid robots for events are usually rented with operators who bring the robot to the venue, start it up and run it for the whole event. The Warsaw-based company MERA Robotics works this way.

### What should be agreed with the venue before the robot arrives?

Build-up hours, vehicle and crew registration, the route from unloading to the stand or stage (lifts, ramps, thresholds), a lockable back-of-house area with a socket for charging batteries, and a stable internet connection.

### Can a robot cope with the noise at trade fairs at EXPO XXI or Ptak Warsaw Expo?

Noise in large halls makes voice conversations harder, so the robot is placed away from speakers and guests step close to it. A well-planned stand layout and an operator on site noticeably improve conversation quality.

### Can the robot speak English at an international conference in Warsaw?

Yes. MERA OS, the system that MERA Robotics robots run on, handles conversations in more than 30 languages, including Polish and English, with a voice matched to the language.

### How much does a humanoid robot for an event in Warsaw cost?

Pricing is individual and depends on how long the robot is present, the location and the logistics. Send an enquiry to contact@merarobotics.com with the venue name, date, hours and a description of the robot's role.
