Traditional prop houses typically don’t possess robotic experience, even if they provide animatronic models, and when mechanical props become complex, producers can find out the hard way that a prop house can’t turn a concept into a working model. Dr Robot offers studios and production companies robotic solutions when conventional mechanical approaches are insufficient or not cost/schedule-effective. We work directly with directors and screenwriters to develop robot-based props that enable them to achieve their vision, and provide on-set staff as needed.

Dr Robot is one of the very few companies in the world providing robot-based monitoring solutions, and stands out as the only one offering autonomously patrolling robots at a unit price under $4000. Our design engineers honed their skills designing hardware for space launch, and they’ve brought to Dr Robot the practice of reducing each element to its core function and subsequently merging it with others wherever possible to yield streamlined, multifunctional devices. Maximum efficiency and flexibility are the goals of our design, and the result are systems that don’t have the redundancies typically found in conventional mobile robots. For our clients seeking patrolling robots, it means a spending a tenth of what they would elsewhere to deploy a single robot –or, conversely, deploying an entire troop of robots for what would otherwise cover the cost of just one.

Our design philosophy doesn’t stop there, though. We work with clients individually and tailor our robot design for their needs. This might involve selecting the right sensors for a particular application, or adding specialty hardware or even altering a robot’s form factor to accommodate existing space constraints. We recognize that not all clients have the same needs, but every client has a budget, and we approach each project with this in mind.
