Why the Robot Group

  • Build a category from the ground up: assessments, pilots, leases through to service.
  • Competitive package, benefits, and meaningful ownership.
  • Vendor-agnostic mission focused on safe, proven deployments.

The Robot Group is a UK-based, vendor-agnostic partner that helps organisations adopt humanoid robots safely and profitably. We combine readiness assessments, Site Acceptance Test–gated pilots, and clear commercial paths - operating lease or purchase -with OEM-aligned service and training. Working across leading global brands and a panel of finance partners, we verify compliance (PUWER, CE/UKCA), model total cost of ownership, and manage uptime with parts, spares and SLAs. From tote handling and kitting to night-shift replenishment and front-of-house, we turn complex automation into reliable output - so our clients can focus on results, not risk.
