Paige Francis from Starwood Hotels unveiled the robot Botlr to the media, launching a new program for guests to interact with the hotel and have their request delivered by the Botlr robot straight to their room. Botlr is the first of its kind and is still in testing. We put it through its paces tasking it with the delivery. The little android, outfitted with a fancy collar and racing stripes, brings small items from the front desk of the Aloft hotel to the rooms of customers. Botlr can handle elevators on its own and scoots along at around one to two miles per hour. This little robot can even dance.
Exclusive to the aloft Financial District launch is the emoji menu, where guests can text emojis to the front desk and the request can be stocked in Botlr, and then he heads straight to the guest’s room.
Check out the footage featured on New York’s Fox 5 and also more information on Botlr, the aloft brand’s new robotic butler below.
