Frequently Asked Questions About Robot Procurement Consultation

What is BotInfo.ai and how does the consultation service work?

BotInfo.ai is a robotics procurement platform that provides free AI-assisted consultation for organizations purchasing humanoid robots, quadrupeds, and robotic arms. We analyze your requirements, recommend specific models, provide pricing guidance, and connect you with authorized dealers. Response time is within 24 hours.

Is the robot procurement consultation really free?

Yes, completely free. BotInfo.ai is compensated by dealers when we successfully match buyers with the right robots. Our incentive is finding you the best fit for your needs and budget, not pushing the most expensive option.

What robot brands and models does BotInfo.ai cover?

We provide procurement guidance for 50+ commercial robot models including: Humanoids (Unitree G1, H1, H2, R1, Booster K1/T1, Figure, Tesla Optimus, Agility Digit, Sanctuary Phoenix), Quadrupeds (Unitree Go2, B2, Boston Dynamics Spot), and Robotic Arms (Unitree Z1, Universal Robots, Franka Emika, and others).

How much do humanoid robots cost?

Humanoid robot prices range from $8,990 (Unitree R1 Basic) to $150,000+ for advanced research platforms. Mid-range research robots like the Unitree G1 EDU Standard cost $43,500. High-performance models like the Unitree H1 start at $95,000. We help you find the right option for your budget.

How much do robot dogs (quadrupeds) cost?

Quadruped robots range from $2,549 (Unitree Go2 Air) to $75,000+ (Boston Dynamics Spot Enterprise). Popular research models include the Go2 Pro at $3,799 and Go2 EDU at $13,000. Industrial models like the B2 start at $15,000.

Can BotInfo.ai help with grant applications and funding justification?

Yes. We regularly help research institutions prepare technical specifications and cost justifications for NSF, DARPA, DOE, NIH, and institutional grants. We can provide documentation formatted for procurement committees, including sole-source justification and multi-year budget templates.

What information do I need to provide for a consultation?

Basic contact info, your organization type, the type of robot you're interested in, your budget range, and a brief description of your use case. The more detail you provide, the better our recommendations. All information is kept confidential.

How quickly will I receive a response?

We respond to all consultation requests within 24 hours on business days. Urgent requests (under 30-day purchase timeline) are prioritized and typically receive same-day responses.

Does BotInfo.ai work with international buyers?

Yes. We work with buyers worldwide and have dealer connections in North America, Europe, Asia, and other regions. We can advise on import considerations, regional pricing differences, and local support availability.

What's included in the Procurement Brief?

Our Procurement Brief includes 2-3 specific model recommendations with reasoning, current pricing from authorized dealers, pros and cons for your use case, ROI considerations, and suggested next steps. For institutional buyers, we can include grant justification language and procurement documentation.

How is BotInfo.ai different from buying directly from manufacturers?

We offer brand-agnostic comparison (manufacturers only sell their own products), can often access better pricing through dealer relationships, and save you time by pre-qualifying options based on your specific needs. Think of us as a knowledgeable guide in a complex, rapidly-evolving market.

What if I need multiple robots or a fleet deployment?

Fleet purchases often qualify for volume discounts of 5-15%. We can help negotiate pricing, coordinate delivery schedules, and plan phased deployments. Multi-unit institutional deals are actually our specialty.

Do you arrange demos or trials?

We can arrange demos through our dealer partners for serious buyers. Some manufacturers offer trial periods for enterprise customers. Let us know your needs in the consultation form and we'll explore available options.

What if I'm not sure what type of robot I need?

That's exactly what we're here for. Tell us your use case, challenges, and goals. We'll recommend the right category (humanoid, quadruped, arm, or mobile manipulator) and specific models within your budget. No prior robotics expertise required.

How do you protect my information?

Your data is used only to provide recommendations and connect you with dealers. We never sell contact lists or share your information with unrelated third parties. You can request data deletion at any time by emailing contact@botinfo.ai.
