Trade in Your Old Model and Switch to Newer Tech – How It Works

Introduction: Robotics Without Obsolescence

Robotics is evolving at lightning speed. A quadruped robot bought in 2022 may already feel outdated compared to the 2025 generation with longer battery life, better sensors, and AI-driven navigation. For businesses, hospitals, or hotels, this creates a dilemma: should we keep repairing an older unit, or invest in the future?

ASIMOV resolves this challenge with its Trade-In Program. Instead of letting robots lose value, clients can exchange old models for new ones at a transparent price, with full migration of AI agents and settings. It is the end of obsolescence and the beginning of continuous innovation.

Why Trade-In Matters in Robotics

Unlike consumer gadgets, robots are strategic assets. They are expensive, deeply integrated into operations, and require trust. But just like any technology, they age.

Repairs become costly as parts wear out.
Compatibility issues appear with new software or AI modules.
Performance gaps grow between old and new generations.

ASIMOV’s trade-in system solves these problems by turning old robots into assets, not liabilities.

The ASIMOV Trade-In Philosophy

The idea is simple:

Don’t repair endlessly. Don’t throw away value. Upgrade seamlessly.

ASIMOV guarantees that every old robot has value. Whether it is resold, refurbished, or recycled, the client receives credit toward the newest model. Meanwhile, operations continue without disruption.

How the Trade-In Program Works

Step 1 – Submit Your Robot Details

Clients begin by sharing basic information through the ASIMOV dashboard:

Model, supplier, and year of purchase.
Current condition (working, partial faults, or not functional).
Photos or diagnostic logs (optional).

This takes only a few minutes and triggers the evaluation process.

Step 2 – Get an Instant Upgrade Quote

Our system calculates a fixed trade-in value for the robot based on:

Market age and depreciation curves.
Condition and parts availability.
Demand in secondary markets (education, research).

Clients instantly receive two clear numbers:

Trade-in credit for the old robot.
Final upgrade cost for the new model.

No negotiation, no hidden fees—just transparency.

Step 3 – Logistics Made Simple

ASIMOV organizes the entire pick-up and transport:

We send specialized crates or packaging if needed.
Certified couriers collect the robot at your location.
Insurance covers 100% of the declared value.

Meanwhile, if the client needs continuity, ASIMOV can provide a loaner unit until the new robot is delivered.

Step 4 – AI Agent Migration

Robots are not just machines—they are intelligent systems carrying settings, routines, and data. Migrating that intelligence is critical.

ASIMOV guarantees:

Encrypted backup of AI agents and configurations.
Migration to the new unit with full compatibility.
Validation tests to ensure the new robot performs exactly as expected.

The result: when the new robot arrives, it already knows your workflows.

Step 5 – Receive Your New Robot

Once the swap is complete:

The new robot is delivered fully configured, updated, and tested.
A service report confirms the migration and warranty.
Old robots are refurbished, recycled, or donated to universities.

From the client’s perspective, the process feels effortless: old out, new in—without disruption.

Case Study 1: From First-Gen Quadruped to AI-Powered Inspection

A factory bought an inspection robot in 2021. By 2025, battery life was half, and repairs costly.

ASIMOV Trade-In: The factory traded it in, received €7,000 credit, and upgraded to a 2025 model with double runtime and advanced AI. The AI inspection agent migrated seamlessly, and downtime was zero.

Case Study 2: Hospital Exoskeleton Upgrade

A hospital owned three rehabilitation exoskeletons. Newer models offered lighter frames and smarter resistance adaptation.

ASIMOV Trade-In: The hospital received credit for all three, upgraded to next-gen units, and had all patient programs migrated. Result: smoother therapy, happier patients.

Case Study 3: Hospitality Concierge Evolution

A luxury resort had humanoid concierges from 2022. Guests expected more natural voice and multilingual capabilities.

ASIMOV Trade-In: Resort traded old concierges for the latest AI models. All guest scripts migrated, and the transition was invisible to clients. Guest satisfaction scores increased by 25%.

Token Integration: Upgrade with $ASMV

The trade-in program is fully connected to ASIMOV’s Web3 ecosystem.

Pay upgrade fees with ASMV tokens for discounts.
Earn staking rewards that reduce upgrade costs.
Vote on which new models should join the trade-in program.

This makes upgrading not just a service, but part of the ASIMOV token economy.

FAQs: Trade-In Program

Do I need to repair my old robot before trading it in?
No. We accept robots in any condition, even non-functional.

How long does the process take?
Typically 5–10 days, depending on logistics and model availability.

Is my data safe?
Yes. All AI migration is encrypted and validated.
