General Questions

About MaisonRoboto

What does MaisonRoboto do?

We design and produce garments for humanoid robots. Each piece is engineered around a specific platform's dimensions, joint geometry, and sensor layout, then constructed by hand in our Paris atelier. The result is clothing that fits precisely, moves without restriction, and meets the same aesthetic standard as traditional couture.

Why dress a humanoid robot at all?

Clothing changes how people perceive and interact with a robot. In corporate settings, appropriate attire reinforces professionalism. In homes, it softens the visual presence and makes the machine feel more approachable. At events or in retail, a well-dressed robot becomes a distinctive brand statement.

The reasons vary by context, but the effect is consistent: thoughtful presentation elevates the experience for everyone around the machine.

What makes MaisonRoboto different?

We are the first house dedicated entirely to this discipline. Our team pairs artisans trained in Parisian haute couture with engineers who specialise in robotic platforms. We maintain detailed specifications for every major humanoid on the market and develop proprietary construction techniques for each.

That combination of craft and technical precision is not something a traditional tailor or a robotics company can replicate alone.

Platform Questions

Compatibility and Performance

Which robot platforms do you work with?

We hold active pattern libraries for Tesla Optimus, Xpeng Iron, Boston Dynamics Atlas, Figure 03, 1X NEO, Agility Digit, and several others. We also accept commissions for proprietary or lesser-known platforms.

If you have a humanoid not listed on our site, contact the atelier and we will conduct a technical survey to develop patterns for it.

Will clothing affect my robot's performance?

No. Preserving full operational capability is a non-negotiable requirement of every garment we produce. We use sensor-transparent materials where needed, design ventilation into thermally sensitive areas, and map every seam to avoid interfering with joint articulation.

Each prototype undergoes motion testing across the platform's complete range before final production begins.

Commission Questions

Pricing, Process, and Delivery

How much does it cost?

Our six collections range from EUR 5,500 to EUR 15,000 depending on complexity, materials, and design scope. Bespoke Singular commissions, where we create an entirely original garment from concept to completion, start from EUR 25,000.

Fleet programs for corporate clients deploying multiple units are quoted individually based on volume and requirements. Contact our atelier for a personalised estimate.

How long does a commission take?

Standard collection pieces typically require six to eight weeks. Bespoke Singular commissions, which involve full consultation, design development, prototyping, and hand finishing, require twelve to sixteen weeks.

We recommend beginning conversations well in advance of any fixed deadline.

What is the commission process?

There are six stages: initial consultation to understand your vision, technical survey of your robot's specifications, design development with concept renderings and material selection, prototype engineering and motion testing, final production with hand finishing by our artisans, and white-glove delivery with on-site installation.

Do you offer fleet programs?

Yes. We work with companies deploying anywhere from ten to several thousand units. Fleet programs include coordinated design across the deployment, shared pattern libraries, volume pricing, seasonal refresh options, and dedicated account management.

Do you deliver internationally?

We deliver worldwide from our Paris atelier. We also maintain client service presences in Abu Dhabi, Los Angeles, and Singapore. Delivery includes climate-controlled shipping and, where requested, on-site installation by our team.

Care Questions

Garment Maintenance

How do I care for the garments?

Every piece ships with detailed care documentation specific to its materials and construction. Most garments feature stain-resistant nano coatings and can be spot cleaned for daily upkeep. For deeper cleaning, we recommend a professional service experienced with technical textiles.

We also offer a maintenance programme where garments can be returned to the atelier for professional refresh.

Can garments be altered after a platform update?

Often, yes. If a software or hardware update changes your robot's dimensions or range of motion, our atelier can assess whether the existing garment can be modified. Minor alterations are usually straightforward.

For significant platform revisions, we may recommend a new commission optimised for the updated specifications.
