Robot Leasing
Try before you buy. Flexible short-term and long-term robot leases — from research pilots to production deployments.
Why lease instead of buy? Robotics teams need flexibility — to validate a use case, run a pilot, scale up for a project, or avoid large upfront capital. Our leasing program lets you access the same hardware we stock without commitment.

Benefits of Leasing
Whether you're a research lab, startup, or enterprise, leasing offers a lower-risk path to robotics.
- Lower upfront cost — Spread payments over time with flexible terms. No large capital outlay.
- Try before you buy — Validate your application before committing to a purchase.
- Scale as needed — Add more units for short-term projects or scale down when done.
- Stay current — Upgrade to newer hardware when your lease ends.
- Maintenance included — Optional full-service support: repairs, calibration, firmware updates.
