Who builds a low-volume robotics run of 50 to 500 units?
Anvol takes robotics orders with no minimum and quotes a run of 50 to 500 units for its own quantity. Our engineers in Shenzhen have built 19 robots on our case pages, from legged walkers to ROS 2 and underwater robots, and delivered a batch of 10 lidar robot cars at $150 per car plus $5,000 development.

| Six-legged robot | Parts $180 per set at 10 sets | $5,000 | 20 days |
| Voice-controlled quadruped | Parts $200 per unit at 15 sets | $5,000 | 20 days |
| Wheel-legged balancing robot | Parts about $150 per set at 20 sets | $5,000 | 20 days |
| ROS 2 omnidirectional robot | Parts about $800 per unit at 50 sets | $4,500 | 18 days |
| Indoor delivery robot | Unit cost $2,500 | $20,000 | 1 month |
| ROS inspection robot | Unit cost $3,000 | $10,000 | 1 month |
Reference figures are our engineers' numbers for a similar build, not invoices or quotes. Only the lidar car is a delivered price.
Our largest batch so far
Ten units, the lidar cars. None of our priced builds was made at 100 or more, so a 50 to 500 run is quoted for its own quantity, not from the prices above. The engineers' about-1,000-set figures on some case pages are estimates, not quotes.
How a run works
- First article
- One unit built on the partner line and checked against your approved prototype before the batch starts.
- Fixtures and tests
- Agreed with you before the run; every unit is tested before it is packed, with a test fixture when the quantity justifies one.
- Records
- Each unit's test recorded; a batch record with every batch; serial numbers and device IDs written per unit when you need them.
- Part substitutions
- Need your approval before the part is used.
- Who builds it
- Fabrication and assembly on partner lines, ordered and managed by Anvol. Your contract is with Anvol, Inc., not a factory.
Not included
- Certification testing (FCC/CE)
- Done by a test lab and quoted separately when a product needs it.
- Shipping and import duties
- Usually arranged by you once units leave the factory.
- Changes outside the written scope
- Re-quoted, with a new timeline, before work continues.
