Scenario Owner (End Customer)

The party with a real-world use case who actually uses the robot and pays for it — the factory, warehouse, or store.

“Scenario owner” is how the embodied-AI industry refers to the end user: a company or institution that has a real working environment, such as a car factory, logistics warehouse, retail store, or hospital. The supply chain also typically includes embodiment makers (who build the robots), “brain” companies (who build the models), and system integrators (who wire the equipment into the line), but it's the scenario owner who decides what job the robot needs to do and how much efficiency it needs to hit before they'll pay for it. Whether a robot can move from demo to real deployment largely depends on whether the scenario owner is willing to open up its site, share data, and run the return-on-investment math.

ExampleAn automaker, acting as the scenario owner, lets a humanoid robot run a pilot moving parts bins in its final-assembly workshop.
