Ben is the beginning. Behind him is a small studio in Berlin that builds entertainment with robots: appearances at trade fairs and on stages, acts with dramaturgy, short videos, and collaborations with brands and with other teams that put robots in front of an audience.
A robot that draws every eye.
Where Ben stands, people stop. He talks to visitors, reacts to their questions and their outfits, and turns a trade fair stand into the place where everyone gathers. Available for trade fairs, corporate events and public events across Germany. Ben is the first format of a Berlin studio that builds entertainment with robots.

How Ben changes your event.
He talks.
Live, in German and English, with answers to what visitors actually say. Passing by turns into a conversation your team takes over.
He moves.
Gestures with five fingers, dance, martial arts choreography, waving over the crowd. Heads turn, three stands away.
He stays in the picture.
Visitors film him themselves. Your stand ends up in their stories.

Use cases.
Trade fair stand.
What he does there: approaches visitors walking past. Opens conversations your team then takes over. A photo motif that gets shared without being asked. Footfall you can measure by the leads your team counts afterwards.
Corporate event.
What he does there: greets guests at the entrance. On stage, an act nobody expected. Moves between the tables. Configured for your brand: topics he raises, topics he leaves alone.
Public event.
What he does there: street festival, shopping centre, sports event. People stop where nobody usually stops. For organisers who need dwell time.
How a trade fair day runs.
- 1
Briefing call, one week before.
We agree on what Ben talks about and what he does not, and work in your products and messages.
- 2
Set-up, 45 minutes before opening.
Robot, operator, speaker, spare battery. You need a power socket and three square metres.
- 3
Active blocks, 20 to 30 minutes every hour.
Ben addresses people passing by, holds short conversations, shows a gesture or a dance. A crowd forms around him. Your team takes over the conversations.
- 4
Breaks in between.
Battery swap, your team qualifies the contacts from the last block.
- 5
Take-down after closing, 20 minutes.
- 6
Follow-up.
On request, five short clips from the day for your channels, with usage rights.
You are planning an event, not an experiment.
Public liability insurance for the appearance is included. The operator is there all day and can stop at any time. The spare battery covers a full trade fair day. If Ben fails technically, you get a pro-rata refund of the fee, that is in the contract. The speech system has a block list: competitors, politics, bodies and origin are off limits. We only film people who agree. Ben runs without a connection to manufacturer servers. On request we send the data sheet to your IT.

Frequently asked questions.
Does Ben need power or internet?
A socket to charge the spare battery. No internet, he runs offline.
How much space does he need?
Three square metres of clear floor, level ground, no deep-pile carpet.
Is he loud?
The speaker is set to conversation level, louder at noisy stands. You decide.
What does he say to my guests?
We agree on that in the briefing call. He talks about your products, reacts to questions and to how guests present themselves, always friendly, never below the belt.
Does he speak English?
Yes, German and English, switching mid-conversation.
What happens when it rains?
Outdoors only in dry weather. For public events we plan a covered spot.
May visitors film him?
Yes, that is the point. What we film ourselves, only with the consent of the people filmed.
How far does he travel?
All of Germany. Berlin and Brandenburg without travel costs, otherwise €0.60 per kilometre.
