Dubbed the Botlr, this fleet-wheeled robot will serve a variety of front and back end tasks for the hotel. It can guide guests to their rooms as well as deliver toiletries like toothbrushes and razors in a fraction of the time it would take a human to do so. It zooms about at speeds up to four miles per hour and wirelessly communicates with the hotel’s elevator system (carefully minding the feet of any meatsacks already in the lift) to reach any floor and any of the 150 rooms in just 2-3 minutes.
When it arrives at a room, it will automatically ring the suite phone in lieu of knocking. And when it’s not running errands, it returns to its charging station in the lobby for a quick energy boost…
And the best part? You don’t even need to tip it for performing these tasks—aside from mentioning how awesome it is in a tweet.
