Hotels are modernized with robotic service options

Implications - In order to appeal to younger travelers, many hotels are updating their accommodations with high-tech offerings that increase guest autonomy. By integrating technology into the very fabric of the space, these hotels are able to stay competitive in the share economy, as well as leverage their existing staff to create more memorable experiences. By embracing technology as a tool of empowerment, brands can refocus the human aspect of service from functionality, to surprise and delight.
Workshop Question - How can your brand employ the use of technology as a tool to empower its consumers or employees?

3. Cloud-based Management Systems - Hotels are adopting cloud-based management systems that connect with mobile apps, allowing visitors to conveniently check in to rooms without having to consult a traditional concierge or front desk staff.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - The hospitality industry is evolving rapidly as it adopts robotic technology as part of its service offerings.
2. Artificial Intelligence - Artificial intelligence systems, such as IBM's Watson cognitive computing technology, are being used to personalize services and add value for consumers.
