Dear MEL Topic Readers,
Introducing AURA, the room service robot
How would you like to check in a hotel? There are quite a few options these days to accommodate different needs and styles. For example, check-in kiosks are quite popular in business hotels in Japan, just like the ones in the major airports around the world. Also, robots in distinct appearances, such as a dinosaur and reception lady, welcome and register guests in an innovative hotel chain. Either machine you are welcomed by, you will have less stress in language barrier because those machines are multi-lingual.
But what about housekeeping or room service? Is it acceptable for you to be delivered what you asked for, such as an extra towel, bottled water, or hair dryer? Now in a hotel in Singapore, you may be serviced by a robot called AURA that delivers small items to the guest rooms.
Well, it has been quite usual to see robots or machines carry parts to the assembly lines in factories for the last few decades. Also, there are high-tech, high-speed machines stocking and picking items in major fulfillment centers.
Enjoy reading and thinking which you would prefer to be serviced in a place where your native language or even English is barely spoken.
