The Sprout robot enters the world of hotels and stores as an intelligent assistant for visitors

The company explained that its new robot, “Sprout,” was designed to be lightweight, attractive, and safe to use, with functional capabilities that allow it to carry out various tasks. She added that she had held talks with a number of hotels to approve him as a personal assistant for guests, where he would guide visitors inside the hotel facilities, in addition to carrying out service tasks such as delivering personal supplies to rooms or different departments.

She pointed out that among the first parties to adopt this robot is Disney, which already uses robotic technologies in its theme parks, along with Boston Dynamics, which specializes in developing mobile robots.

The company explained that Sprout is characterized by ease of programming, which makes it a suitable tool for research and educational purposes, as it comes equipped with software libraries that allow scanning the surrounding environment, moving independently, interacting with large linguistic artificial intelligence models, and performing other advanced tasks. New York University has taken the initiative to include robots in its academic programs to explore new methods for controlling robots and enhancing their interaction with humans.

Focus on entertainment and services

Unlike many human robots that are developed to work in industrial environments, this robot was designed to be a direct assistant to humans, as it can provide hotel guests with the information they need through artificial intelligence techniques. It is also expected to contribute to improving the customer experience inside stores by receiving and guiding them.
