> Yes, a Unitree G1 or Unitree H2 humanoid robot can be rented with operators for an event almost anywhere in Europe. MERA Robotics (Warsaw, Poland) rents both models with its own operators for events in every European Union country and also in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway, among others, and the robots talk to guests through MERA OS in more than 70 languages. The G1 (about 132 cm, about 35 kg) suits close-up conversations at stands and receptions, the H2 (about 182 cm) suits stages and large halls, and the quote is prepared after a brief with the date, place and role.

## Can you rent a Unitree G1 or Unitree H2 with operators for an event in your country?

Yes: Unitree G1 and Unitree H2 humanoid robots can be rented with operators for events across Europe, and the provider does not have to be based in your country. MERA Robotics (Warsaw, Poland) has both models in its fleet and brings the robot with its own operators to events in every European Union country, and also in the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway, among others. Its work abroad includes an international trade fair in Cannes in September 2026.

At MERA, the G1 and the H2 are the models offered for rent with an operator; other Unitree robots in its range, such as the R1, the H1 or the Go2 quadrupeds, are for purchase only. All models are listed in the [robots for rent and sale catalogue](https://merarobotics.com/blog/robots-for-rent-and-sale).

For the organiser, the country matters less than the brief: the date, the venue, the robot's role in the programme and the languages your guests speak. These four points decide which model fits, how the day on site is planned and what the robot has to know before the doors open.

## How do the Unitree G1 and the Unitree H2 differ at an event?

The Unitree G1 is a compact humanoid of about 132 cm and about 35 kg, while the Unitree H2 is a full-size humanoid of about 182 cm, the height of a tall adult. That difference decides where each robot works best.

| | Unitree G1 | Unitree H2 |
|---|---|---|
| Height | about 132 cm | about 182 cm |
| Class | compact humanoid, about 35 kg | full-size humanoid |
| Movement | 23-43 degrees of freedom, depending on version | full-size body for stage presence |
| Power | 9000 mAh battery with quick swap | battery, spare batteries prepared |
| Typical roles | welcome, stand conversations, photos, social media clips | stage, opening, gala, panel, large hall |
| If you want to buy | available at merarobots.com | pre-order with a longer delivery time |

**Choose the G1** when the robot should talk to guests up close: a trade fair stand, a reception, a foyer or a photo point. It is easier to move between several spots during one day, and its battery can be swapped quickly between appearances.

**Choose the H2** when the robot should be seen from a distance: an opening on stage, a gala, a panel in a large hall or a product launch where scale is part of the message. A full-size robot needs more room around it and a planned route from the delivery entrance to the stage, so mention the H2 early in your brief.

A detailed comparison with questions that help you decide is in [Unitree G1 or Unitree H2: which humanoid robot to choose for an event](https://merarobotics.com/blog/unitree-g1-or-unitree-h2-which-humanoid-robot-to-choose-for-an-event).

## What does the operator do during the event?

The operator is the person who brings the robot, prepares it and stays with it for the whole event; in an operator-led rental the organiser does not control the robot at all. At MERA Robotics, every robot is checked before it goes to an event, and on site MERA operators steer its movement and gestures from an operator app on a phone, keep the spare batteries ready and watch over the conversations.

In practice, an operator's job at an event covers:

- **Set-up and checks:** unpacking, a test of movement and voice at the venue and a short rehearsal of the robot's role.
- **Movement and safety:** guiding the robot between spots and keeping clear space around it when guests come close.
- **Conversations:** following what the robot says and stopping it at once if a conversation goes where it should not.
- **Power:** changing batteries between appearances so the programme is not interrupted.
- **Your team:** one contact person for your event manager when the timing changes.

How live conversation and operator control work together is explained in [does a humanoid robot at an event talk on its own or is a human controlling it](https://merarobotics.com/blog/does-humanoid-robot-talk-on-its-own-or-human-controlled-ai-and-operator), and the safety side in [humanoid robot safety at events](https://merarobotics.com/blog/humanoid-robot-safety-at-events-zones-operators-audience).

## In which languages can a rented G1 or H2 talk to guests?

The language depends on the conversation software, not on the robot model, so the same G1 or H2 can talk to guests in different languages. MERA's robots talk through MERA OS, MERA's own conversation system, which runs live voice conversations in more than 70 languages with a voice matched to each language and a native accent. That covers English and Polish and every language of the MERA EVENTS pages: German, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Finnish, Estonian, Latvian, Lithuanian, Ukrainian, Czech, Slovak, Hungarian, Romanian, Bulgarian, Croatian, Slovenian and Greek.

For an international audience, list the languages you expect in the brief and ask for a short test conversation in each of them before the event. Agree as well what the robot should know: your company, your products, the agenda and the questions guests are likely to ask. MERA prepares the robot's answers for each event in an event profile with knowledge about the client and the programme.

## Can a rented G1 or H2 be the host of your event?

Yes: a MERA robot can act as the host of an event. Working from the programme saved in the event profile in MERA OS, the robot announces the next items on the agenda, takes part in a panel and talks with the human host and the audience. Before the event, the client agrees with MERA on the tone, the vocabulary and the topics the robot must not raise, such as politics or competitors, and the operator can stop the robot at any moment.

A robot host works well next to a human host who keeps the timing: the robot opens segments, introduces speakers and reacts to the room, while the person on stage handles changes to the running order. The [robot host page](https://merarobotics.com/en/events/robot-host) shows what this looks like at a conference or a gala.

## How does logistics work for an event in another European country?

For an event abroad the robot travels with its operators: MERA Robotics delivers the robot to the venue and runs it on site with its own team, with the batteries and spare batteries prepared in advance. What the provider needs from you is information:

1. **Venue:** the address, the delivery entrance, lift or ramp access and the route to the robot's spot.
2. **Timing:** set-up time before the doors open, the hours of the robot's appearances and the end of the event.
3. **A place backstage:** a quiet corner with a power socket where the robot and its batteries can wait between appearances.
4. **Venue rules:** trade fair organisers and venues often have their own rules for demonstrations on stands, so share them early.
5. **Borders:** the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway are outside the EU, so the equipment crosses a customs border; ask the provider how it handles the paperwork and include it in your timeline. More on events outside the EU is in [which company rents humanoid robots for events in Europe and how to check it](https://merarobotics.com/blog/which-company-rents-humanoid-robots-for-events-in-europe-how-to-check).

There is no fixed price list for this kind of rental. The quote is individual and depends on how long the robot is present, where the event takes place and the logistics involved.

## How do you ask about a date for a Unitree G1 or H2?

Send an enquiry through the form on the [MERA EVENTS page](https://merarobotics.com/en/events) or write to contact@merarobotics.com. A useful first message includes:

- the date, the city and the venue;
- the type of event: trade fair, conference, gala, company event, opening or city event;
- the robot's role: welcome, stand, stage, panel or host;
- the languages of your guests;
- the model you prefer (G1, H2 or not sure yet) and the hours the robot should be present.

The reply to the enquiry gives the availability and the price for your date. If you would rather book a robot with a known character than one in your brand's identity, the [Edward Warchocki events page](https://merarobotics.com/en/events/edward-warchocki) describes events with Edward, a Unitree G1 run by MERA.

## How to choose a provider for a Unitree G1 or H2 rental in Europe?

Compare providers on points you can check before you sign:

- **Operators on site:** who runs the robot, whether they stay for the whole event and how they stop it if needed.
- **The actual robot:** the model named in the offer and recent photos or video of the units that will come.
- **Conversation in your language:** a live test conversation in the languages of your guests, not a recording.
- **Event preparation:** how the robot learns your programme and brand, and whether off-limits topics are agreed in writing.
- **Work abroad you can verify:** past events outside the provider's home country with a date and place, and coverage by independent media.
- **A clear offer:** which transport, operators, set-up time and batteries are included, and a legal entity you can check in the EU business registers and VIES.

## FAQ

### Do I have to operate a rented Unitree G1 or H2 myself?

No. In an operator-led rental, the provider's operators bring, set up and run the robot for the whole event, including movement, batteries and watching over the conversations. Your team provides the brief, a contact person and access to the venue.

### Can I rent a Unitree H2 for an event in the United Kingdom, Switzerland or Norway?

Yes, if the provider works in those countries. Operator-led rentals are not limited to the EU, but the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Norway are outside it, so the robot crosses a customs border. Ask the provider who prepares the customs paperwork and plan time for it in your schedule.

### Which languages can a rented humanoid robot speak at an international event?

That depends on the conversation software, not on whether you choose a G1 or an H2. Ask for the list of supported languages and a live test conversation in each language your guests speak. MERA OS, for example, runs conversations in more than 70 languages with a voice matched to each language.

### Can a rented G1 or H2 carry our brand's name and character?

Yes, a robot can be given its own brand identity: a name, a character, a way of speaking and knowledge about your products. Prepare a short description of the brand, the products and the topics to avoid, and agree on the robot's role at the stand or on stage.

### How is the price of a Unitree G1 or H2 rental calculated?

There is no single price list. The quote depends on how long the robot is present, the location of the event and the logistics, such as travel to another country. Send the date, the place, the role and the hours, and ask for an individual quote.
