As we mentioned in the first paragraph, service robots are not exactly the newest thing in town, since they have also served in the healthcare industry as well. However, hotels happen to be a potentially booming market , and it might lead to robot companies springing up like mushrooms as they attempt to meet the market’s growing needs. Other service-based businesses being targeted by the likes of Savioke include restaurants and elder care facilities.
The SaviOne might be a distant cousin of Star War’s fictional R2-D2, where it is smart enough to navigate through hotels, and is also able to operate the elevator. If you are a hotel staffer, commanding the SaviOne is a snap – just key in a room number and as the SaviOne arrives at the intended room, it will phone the guest. Right on top of the robot would be a small hatch, where guests can retrieve the towel or toothbrush ordered.
