Trial, demonstrate and adopt humanoid and quadruped robots in the UK
We help UK businesses explore, trial and adopt humanoid and quadruped robots through robot demonstrations, structured robot trials and pilot programmes. And for the overseas manufacturers who build them, we provide UK robotics market entry — a neutral, demonstration-led route from first demo to sector introduction.
- Manufacturer-agnostic
- Humanoid, quadruped & specialist
- Trials, demos & pilots
- Manufacturer & partner collaboration
- Grant funding support
- Practical & realistic
Why Forge Robotics
Why Forge
The future of work will not arrive all at once.
It will be built by the companies prepared to test, learn and movebefore the opportunity becomes obvious.
Forge Robotics helps ambitious businesses explore what advanced humanoid and quadruped robotics could mean for their operations, their people and their competitive position.
We start with the real world: the tasks that are difficult to staff, repetitive to manage, costly to scale, or simply not being done as well as they could be.
Then we help turn emerging robotic capability into a practical commercial opportunity.
This is not automation for its own sake.
It is about giving your business a head start on a futureyour competitors may not yet be planning for.
See what could be possible.
Start with the challenges in front of you. We will help identify where robotics could create a meaningful advantage.

Who we work with
Manufacturers, businesses and technical partners — together
Forge Robotics is the UK partner that connects robot makers, technical partners and businesses around safe, commercially useful trials and pilots. Manufacturers are as welcome here as the businesses keen to trial their robots.
For UK businesses
Register interest in robot trials, demonstrations and pilot projects, and explore practical use cases safely and commercially.
For manufacturers & distributors
Bring your humanoid, quadruped or specialist robots to the UK market through trial partnerships, demonstrations and business introductions. We work with you, not against you.
For technical partners
Collaborate on SDK integration, remote support, simulation, safety workflows and proof-of-concept development.
For manufacturers
UK robotics market entry, without single-vendor lock-in
We are not tied to a single manufacturer. Forge Robotics assesses the right robot for the task — across humanoid, quadruped and specialist platforms from multiple suppliers. Leading humanoid, quadruped and specialist platforms from multiple suppliers are the kind of hardware we may assess, trial or work with. Our aim is to work with multiple robotics companies, not to compete with them.
How it works
From a workplace task to a realistic robotics plan
A simple, practical process — see the robot in your environment first, then build a plan based on what the testing actually shows.
Step 1
Tell us about your business and the task
Share your workplace, the environment and the task or problem you want to explore.
Step 2
Book a robot trial, demo or feasibility call
Choose the right first step — a workplace demonstration, a trial, or a feasibility call.
Step 3
We assess suitable robot options
We help identify humanoid or quadruped robot options that may suit the task and site.
Step 4
We identify practical automation workflows
We map realistic workflows and where a robot could genuinely add value.
Step 5
We discuss whether grant funding support may help
Where suitable, we explore whether grant funding could contribute towards project costs.
Step 6
We build a realistic project plan
A grounded plan for trials, development and next steps — based on what the testing shows.

Our approach
Practical robotics, not hype
Humanoid and quadruped robots are developing quickly, but every workplace is different. Forge Robotics focuses on safe trials, realistic use cases and practical project planning before recommending wider automation work.
- Robots must be tested in the intended environment.
- Suitability depends on the task, site, safety requirements and available integrations.
- Some workflows may require custom development, remote engineering support or supplier collaboration.
- Grant funding is subject to eligibility and cannot be guaranteed.
Grant funding support
Could grant funding reduce the cost of your robotics trial?
Robot trials, feasibility studies and automation projects can require upfront investment. Forge Robotics can help businesses explore whether innovation grants, R&D support, productivity funding or regional business schemes may contribute towards the cost of a suitable robotics project.
Through our grant funding support process, we can help assess your project, identify possible funding routes and support the next steps where there appears to be a suitable opportunity.
Please note: Funding is always subject to eligibility, location, applicant type, sector, project stage, deadlines and available schemes. Forge Robotics cannot guarantee funding or approval, but we can help businesses understand whether support may be available before committing to a larger robotics project.
