Hotel Delivery Robots

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Savioke's Relay Concept Replaces Traditional Service Staff

— March 8, 2016 — Tech
Savioke's 'Relay' delivery robots aim to reduce the workload of traditional service staff and are ideal for use in international hotels. Mimicking concepts like the A.L.O. Botlr, a robotic butler that is currently replacing maid staff at Cupertino's Aloft Hotel, this high tech concept proves that the hospitality industry is evolving at a staggering rate.

While hotels in Asia are replacing traditional concierges with playful robots -- from digitized dinosaurs to lifelike droids -- this concept aims to cut hospitality costs by doubling as a delivery solution that is both budget-friendly and convenient for both hotel staff and visitors.

Savioke's delivery robots are meant to transport small items and essentials to hotel visitors. Though unable to transport hot meals and other traditional room service orders, the electronic service robots will free up the schedules of hotel staff, leaving them in charge of priority tasks rather than smaller errands like toothpaste and Starbucks coffee deliveries.
Trend Themes
1. Robot Delivery Assistants - Savioke's Relay concept showcases the trend of using delivery robots to reduce the workload of traditional service staff in the hospitality industry.
2. Cost-cutting Automation - The use of delivery robots in hotels provides a budget-friendly and convenient solution for both visitors and hotel staff, cutting down expenses on smaller errands.
3. Evolving Hospitality Industry - The adoption of high-tech concepts like delivery robots in international hotels demonstrates the rapid evolution of the hospitality industry.
Industry Implications
1. Hospitality - The adoption of delivery robots in hotels presents disruptive innovation opportunities to streamline operations and increase efficiency in the hospitality industry.
2. Robotics - The implementation of delivery robots in various industries, including the hospitality sector, drives the demand for advancements in robotics technology.
3. Automation - The use of automation through delivery robots offers growth opportunities across industries by providing cost-effective and efficient solutions for small tasks.
