Best Robots to Have for Events in 2025
Turning Heads, Starting Conversations, and Delivering Unforgettable Experiences
In 2025, events are no longer just about good lighting, guest lists, and entertainment—they’re about experience. And nothing captivates an audience like a robot. Whether you’re running a trade show, brand activation, corporate function, or luxury wedding, having the right robot on-site transforms curiosity into conversation and engagement into memory.
Here are the best robots to consider for your next event:
1. Humanoid Robots: The Crowd Magnets
Best For: Meet & greets, photo opportunities, brand ambassadors
Humanoid robots are the ultimate attention-grabbers. Their human-like features and conversational abilities make them perfect for welcoming guests, posing for selfies, and providing fun facts about your brand or venue.
Examples:
Pepper: Friendly, expressive, and able to hold basic conversations and dances.
OrionStar Humanoids: With large digital screens and custom animations, they bring interactive storytelling to life.
2. Digital Signage Robots (DSRs): The Walking Billboard
Best For: Brand awareness, directions, sponsorship promotion
Equipped with large HD screens, these robots roam the venue displaying logos, videos, QR codes, or personalised messages.
Benefits:
Motion draws more eyes than static signage
Can talk and answer questions using a chatbot interface
Perfect for hybrid event use—screen + human interaction
3. Serving Robots: Smart Hospitality with Style
Best For: Catering, hospitality lounges, VIP areas
Serve canapés, drinks, or brochures with a robot that knows where to go. These robots can carry trays or use compartment drawers to deliver refreshments or promotional items directly to guests.
Top Options:
LuckiBot Plus: Sleek design, great for food & beverage
Keenon T5: Reliable and easy to brand with decals
4. Telepresence Robots: For Hybrid and High-Profile Access
Best For: Remote speakers, virtual attendees, celebrity appearances
With a screen on a mobile base, telepresence robots allow someone from another city (or country) to virtually “attend” the event and move around the space, holding real-time video conversations with guests.
Use Cases:
CEO keynote without flying in
VIPs saying hello from afar
Remote walkthroughs for clients or press
5. Robot Arms for Entertainment or Product Interaction
Best For: Interactive demos, barista shows, tech showcases
Articulated robot arms can serve drinks, write names on products, or create unique art live. Controlled manually or pre-programmed, they’re a hit with tech-savvy crowds.
Ideas:
Coffee or cocktail robot bar
Laser engraving giveaways
Artistic performances to music
6. Robot Dogs & Quadrupeds: Futuristic Motion, Viral Moments
Best For: Social media buzz, tech events, interactive experiences
These four-legged robots are agile, expressive, and irresistibly photogenic. Whether dancing, climbing stairs, or reacting to guest movement, they’re guaranteed to go viral.
Example:
Unitree Go1 or Boston Dynamics Spot for cutting-edge brand messaging
7. Robot Hosts with AI Chat
Best For: Info desks, registration, Q&A, engagement
These robots greet guests, answer FAQs, and guide people around the venue. With AI chat integration, they can answer specific questions, reducing the workload on staff and adding novelty to the guest experience.
