What people hire robots for

Most bookings today are about attention. A humanoid greeting guests at a product launch, a robot dog working a crowd at a shopping centre activation, a robot in the background of an ad or a TikTok shoot. Robots draw a crowd in a way a banner never will, and hiring one for a day costs a fraction of buying one.

The other side is practical work. Owners list robots that can survey a site, capture photos and video, patrol a gate, or help out on a line. If you have a job rather than an occasion, you can post the task and let owners with the right robot quote for it.

How it works

  1. Browse Sydney listings or post a task describing what you need.
  2. Book the hours or days you want. Payment is held securely and the owner is notified.
  3. Agree handover, delivery or operation in the booking chat, then leave a review when the job is done.

What it costs

Every listing shows an hourly and a daily rate set by the owner. As a rough guide, robot dogs tend to cost less than humanoids, and short event appearances cost less than full day hires. International platforms average around US$500 a day for humanoids, and Sydney pricing sits in a similar range. For a proper breakdown by robot type, see our guide to robot rental costs in Australia.

Common questions

Is an operator included?

That depends on the listing. Many owners operate the robot themselves or send a trained handler, which is the usual setup for events. Others hand the robot over for the booking. Each listing spells out how it works, and you can confirm details in the booking chat before your event.

Can the robot be delivered?

Many owners offer delivery for a small fee within a set distance, and it is shown on the listing. Otherwise you arrange pickup and return in the booking chat.

What about damage and insurance?

Owners can set a security deposit, which is held on your card and released when the booking is completed. Payments are held securely until the booking is confirmed, and every booking has a chat so both sides can agree the details up front.

Can I book by the hour?

Yes. Every listing has an hourly and a daily rate, so a two hour appearance at a product launch and a full day on a work site are both normal bookings.

Looking for something specific?

We have separate guides for robot dog hire and humanoid robot hire. And if you own a robot that spends most of its week switched off, you can list it on Ollee and earn.
