Common Questions
What is the minimum lease term?
Minimum lease term is 1 month. Quarterly leases (3+ months) receive a 10% discount, and annual leases receive a 20% discount off the monthly rate.
What's included in the lease?
All leases include: delivery and return shipping, setup documentation, remote technical support, and software updates. On-site setup and operator training available for enterprise contracts.
How quickly can I get a robot delivered?
Standard delivery is 2–3 business days from our California or Massachusetts facility. Expedited same-day or next-day delivery available for urgent needs (additional fee applies).
Can I purchase the robot after leasing?
Yes. SVRC offers lease-to-own arrangements. Lease payments can be credited toward purchase price on annual contracts. Contact us for lease-to-own pricing.
Do you offer data collection services alongside leasing?
Yes. SVRC provides robot leasing bundled with teleoperation data collection services — including trained operators, annotation, and training-ready HDF5 datasets. See our Data Services.
