About
I am Dimitris Athanassiadis, FCCA. I have spent twenty years in multi-entity group finance and international audit, in groups operating across sixty-three countries, and five years building software and ERP systems.
I have watched this equipment become competent in public. Unitree posts a preview of a humanoid and the argument underneath it is whether the thing is real; my questions are which conformity file it ships with and what it costs to run for a year. That is not a detached interest — alongside the finance I build the systems these machines end up inside: access-control hardware, IoT device integrations, and the Greek e-invoicing and labour-compliance interfaces an ERP has to satisfy. A service robot is the same object: a machine, a regulatory file and a set of numbers, failing on whichever of the three is weakest. Almost everything written about them covers the machine. Ergasa is the other two.
Where this stands
Ergasa is pre-revenue, and I would rather show the work than describe it. What exists today is the regulatory reference and the arithmetic behind it. The commercial side starts after October, when I spend two weeks in Shanghai, Hangzhou and Shenzhen — CIIF, then the offices and factories of nine manufacturers, among them Pudu, Keenon, Gausium, Unitree and UBTech. What I learn there will be published here as it is written.
Until then this site is a regulatory reference and a set of worked numbers. The tracker is the part I would want if I were on the other side of this: every dated EU obligation that reaches equipment placed on the European market, re-read against the Official Journal on each revision.
I am not a distributor and I am not waiting on a contract with one. Where a manufacturer is named here it is named as evidence about the market, never as an affiliation.
