What to expect from setup through teardown.
The Robot
Hardware specs, capabilities, and operating requirements.
| Specification | Detail |
|---|---|
| Model | LeRobotBooth AI Robot Photobooth |
| Height | Approx. 150 cm (59 in) standing; 120 cm (47 in) to touchscreen centre |
| Footprint | 60 cm × 60 cm base; allow a 1.5 m clear radius for roaming |
| Camera | Professional DSLR camera |
| Touchscreen | 15.6" 1080p IPS display; capacitive touch; hosts the full guest interaction UI |
| Printer | Separate on-site professional wireless dye-sublimation printer (not built into the robot); prints in ~30 s; output 4" × 6" or 2" × 6" strips |
| Battery | ~2 h per charge under full load; charges on dock while remaining fully operational |
| Navigation | LiDAR + ultrasonic obstacle avoidance; capable of autonomous nav but always operated under direct attendant supervision, see § ROBOT·02 |
| Connectivity | We bring our own high-gain professional router, so venue Wi-Fi is helpful but not required. Where venue Wi-Fi is available we connect to it (802.11 ac, 5 GHz preferred); where it is not, we fall back to cellular. Guest email delivery and cloud sync need a live connection. If the connection drops mid-event, photos are stored locally and synced once it is restored, and email delivery resumes automatically. |
| Power (charging) | Standard 120 V / 15 A outlet; charging brick included |
| Operating temp | 15–30 °C (59–86 °F); indoor use only |
| Noise level | ~45 dB at 1 m in stationary conditions (quieter than normal conversation; movement and printing may be slightly higher) |
Branding & Customisation
Every touchpoint you can personalise, with exact file specs.
The printed and digital photo includes a branded overlay frame. You may supply a custom design or choose from our template library.
When no guest interaction is active, the robot's touchscreen plays a looping branded video or animation. This is your primary brand-awareness touchpoint during the event.
Our AI applies a styled transformation to each guest's photo before printing and emailing. The theme is set per event and can match your brand aesthetic, event theme, or a creative direction of your choosing. Results may vary slightly per image depending on lighting and composition, we sample and approve the output with you before the event.
| Mode | Best for | Output consistency |
|---|---|---|
| Direct face rendering | Solo portraits; high-detail transformations | Highly consistent, same style applied identically each time |
| Prompt-based generation | Groups; creative/thematic scenes | Varies slightly per person, adds a sense of uniqueness to each photo |
All AI outputs are generated in portrait orientation and may vary slightly per image depending on composition and lighting.
- 2–5 reference images that capture the mood or visual style you want
- A brief description: era, colour palette, artistic style (e.g. "1920s Art Deco, warm sepia tones, formal portrait")
- Any restrictions: e.g. "no dramatic costume changes," "keep faces realistic"
We'll generate 3 sample outputs for your approval before the event. One round of revisions is included.
Custom vinyl decals can be applied to the robot’s body panels, putting your logo or artwork on the most visible surface guests see. We print and apply them, and the robot is returned to its default finish after the event. Decal placement and size are confirmed with you once we see your artwork, since it depends on the mark and how it sits on the panel.
Photos are emailed to guests in real time using your brand's sender identity. To send from your domain (e.g. photos@yourbrand.com), provide SMTP credentials. Alternatively we send from our default address (photos@lerobotbooth.ca) at no extra setup.
Robot Speech
The booth's robot listens to guests and answers out loud. It is set up to answer from what you write here, and to say it does not know when something is not covered.
Fill in the five sections below and send the whole thing back as plain text. The layout is the format, and it goes straight into the booth as written.
| What helps | Why |
|---|---|
| Written to be heard | Every word here may be spoken aloud. Avoid web addresses, abbreviations and wording that only makes sense on paper. Write numbers as words where it sounds better, eight o'clock rather than 8pm. |
| Shorter is better | Aim for one page, and no more than two. The robot gives short answers. A shorter brief replies faster, stays more consistent, and is much easier for us to test before the event. |
| One fact per line | Use short standalone statements instead of paragraphs. This makes it easier for the robot to find the relevant information and answer briefly, without blending unrelated facts together. |
Give the robot the basic context it needs when a question is vague.
EVENT What is being celebrated. Who the guests are. How you want the robot to sound.
EVENT This is the Northwind summer party. The guests are employees, partners and a few clients. Be warm, quick and a little playful. Never stiff.
Give us ten to twenty short facts. Each fact should make sense on its own so it can be used in an answer without needing the lines around it.
FACTS - One fact per line. - Start each fact with a dash.
FACTS - Tonight is the Northwind summer party. - Dinner is served at eight. - Speeches begin at nine. - Photos are emailed shortly after they are taken. - The cloakroom is beside the main entrance. - The quiet area is upstairs.
This is the most useful section. For these questions, the robot is instructed to stay close to the answer you provide rather than inventing a completely different response.
QUESTIONS Q: how a guest would actually ask it A: how you would like the robot to answer
QUESTIONS Q: What are we celebrating? A: The Northwind summer party. That deserves at least one good photo. Q: Where do my photos go? A: They are sent to your email shortly after your photo is taken. Q: Can I take another photo? A: Of course. Tap take another on the screen. Q: Are you a real robot? A: Real enough to take your photo. The big questions come after my shift.
Aim for fifteen to twenty question-and-answer pairs, and write the questions the way someone would actually say them out loud. If guests may ask the same thing in two very different ways, include both questions.
What is the occasion for this event?
What are we celebrating?
Unusual names, initials, places and brand words may not be pronounced the way you expect. List anything where pronunciation matters, especially names of people who will be in the room. Write the pronunciation the way you would explain it to another person, using ordinary letters.
| Written | Say it as |
|---|---|
| NWD | N W D |
| Siobhan | Shiv-awn |
| Beauchamp | Beech-am |
| 2001 | two thousand and one |
| 25th | twenty-fifth |
A rough spelling is enough. We test the pronunciation and adjust it before the event.
NAMES NWD = N W D Siobhan = Shiv-awn Beauchamp = Beech-am
RECOGNISE Northwind, Siobhan, Beauchamp, Bristol, warehouse team
Tell us what topics the robot should avoid. Use broad topics rather than trying to predict every possible question.
DO NOT ANSWER - One topic per line. IF UNSURE The sentence it should use when it does not know.
DO NOT ANSWER - Salaries, layoffs or restructuring. - Customers or contracts. - Financial results or forecasts. - Opinions about individuals. - Politics. - Personal questions about guests. IF UNSURE That one is above my pay grade. Shall we take a photo instead?
Send one plain text document using these headings in this order.
EVENT three lines FACTS ten to twenty lines QUESTIONS fifteen to twenty question-and-answer pairs NAMES written form = say it as RECOGNISE names and terms separated by commas DO NOT ANSWER topics, one per line IF UNSURE one sentence
Send it ideally about a week before the event. We load the content into the booth and test it using the questions you provided. We also check pronunciation and how the answers sound when spoken. Changes can still be made close to the event, including updated timings, names, running order or other practical information.
The robot is set up for English by default. Tell us in advance if guests are likely to speak to it in another language so we can configure and test that beforehand.
In a loud room, press-to-talk usually works better than leaving the microphone listening continuously.
Guest Experience
What guests see, touch, receive, and how photos get to them.
Total interaction time per guest is typically 30–60 seconds depending on queue and session flow. After a guest takes their photo, the interaction follows this sequence:
Email delivery is optional and toggled on per event. When enabled, you can fully customise the email subject and body. The system uses a rich-text editor with the following dynamic variables:
{{media}}{{media_url}}{{cloud_link}}Hi there,
Thanks for visiting our photo booth!
Your media is ready, see it below.
{{media}}Want to view or share it later? We've saved it for you on the cloud.
{{cloud_link}}Enjoy your moment,
LeRobotBooth Team
To use a custom template, send us your subject line and body copy (with the variable placeholders above) at least 7 days before the event. Photos can optionally be sent as attachments, let us know your preference.
Within 24 hours of your event ending, all photos are gathered in one place. You receive a private link you can share.
Privacy & Data
How guest photos and contact data are handled.
LeRobotBooth collects guest photos and email addresses solely for photo delivery and gallery purposes. We do not sell, share, or use guest data for our own marketing purposes.
Photos and short video clips captured by our team during the event may be used for LeRobotBooth's social media and marketing purposes. If you prefer that no event content be captured or used for marketing, simply let us know in advance, we will respect that preference completely, no questions asked.
When email sharing is enabled for an event, guests are shown a consent notice on the touchscreen before entering their email address, it explains how their photo and email will be used. They must tap "I agree" to proceed, and this consent record is logged per session. If email sharing is not enabled, guests receive their photo via QR code only; no personal data is collected in that mode.
Amy’s personality and general conversation are included with the experience and on by default, so she can talk with guests without any brief from you. Teaching her about your specific event is separate: that takes a one-time setup fee, which covers writing the brief with you, loading it into the robot, and testing her answers before doors open. See Instant Pricing for the current cost. Whether or not you add the custom brief, please make sure whoever signs it off understands the following, see §5 Robot Speech for the brief format.
- What you write in the brief, and the questions guests ask, may be processed by an AI system to work out each answer.
- Only include information you are comfortable having repeated to guests.
- A guest may be able to get the robot to repeat information it has been given, so the brief itself is the thing to keep clean.
- Do not include confidential information, unannounced news, private figures, internal discussions, or personal information about individual guests. The do not answer list sets topics to avoid, but it is not a substitute for leaving sensitive material out of the brief.
If any of this is a problem for your event, we can run the booth with speech disabled and everything else unchanged.
