Humanoid Feasibility Study & Pilot Plan
Should your plant run a humanoid robot pilot?
For which task, what would it require, and what must the pilot prove before you invest further? An independent go / no-go / not-yet decision in three weeks.
Book a 30-minute fit call See what you get
- 3 weeks after complete inputs
- Fixed fee from US$8,000
- Vendor-independent: no referral fees
- Remote by default: US & Canada
Who it's for
Plant managers, operations directors and manufacturing engineering leads at midsized North American manufacturers, especially auto-component and metal-forming plants with roughly 250–1,500 employees.
- You have at least one repetitive handling task running across two or more shifts.
- Leadership is curious about humanoids, or a vendor has already approached you.
- You want an independent view before committing pilot budget.
- You're open to hearing that an AMR, cobot, fixed automation or a process change is the better answer, or that the right answer is "not yet".
What you get (one facility)
Task screen
Up to 5 candidate tasks, each scored for humanoid vs. AMR/AGV, cobot, fixed automation and process redesign.
Deep assessment
One priority task: workflow, takt fit, payload, reach, environment, exceptions, safety and integration constraints.
Platform comparison
Current humanoid options compared on availability, commercial model and published evidence, plus a vendor RFI question pack.
Business case
A preliminary business case with explicit assumptions and sensitivity analysis, in an Excel workbook you keep.
Requirements
Operational, integration (WMS/MES/IT-OT) and workforce requirements, including roles, training needs and change impacts.
Pilot specification
KPIs (cycle time, interventions per shift, uptime, accuracy, safety events), responsibilities, stage gates and exit criteria.
Working sessions
Two tailored management/engineering working sessions, plus an executive recommendation.
What this study is not
This is a decision and planning study. It is research-, data- and interview-based. The items on the right are separately scoped, usually with the robot vendor or integrator.
- Production commissioning
- Validated robot performance testing
- Formal safety certification or risk-assessment sign-off
- Operator qualification
- Robot control-policy training
Performance figures in the study are either vendor-published or assumptions that the pilot must prove.
How it works
- Week 0
Fit call & scope
A 30-minute fit call, then a fixed-fee statement of work and an input checklist. Expect about 6–8 hours of your team's time in total.
- Week 1
Inputs & screen
Interviews, task videos, layout, cycle and labour data review. Working session 1: the task screen.
- Week 2
Deep assessment
Priority-task analysis, platform comparison, business case and requirements.
- Week 3
Recommendation
Working session 2: go / no-go / not-yet recommendation and pilot specification. Final deliverables handed over.
The three-week clock starts once inputs are complete. Remote by default; an on-site option (observation only) is available in Tier 2.

This is a new independent practice launched in 2026. It has no client references yet, no affiliation with any robot maker, and takes no referral fees. Every assumption is visible in your workbook.
Serving the US and Canada remotely; site work is scoped separately.
