Recently, robots have been increasingly spotted in hotels across Asia, and in preparation for the Olympics, the Prince Park Tower Tokyo has also introduced room service with the butler robot Relay. This butler robot is equipped with an Intel RealSense camera and can deliver items and documents upon command. Now, it will also bring ordered food to your door according to guest requests.

According to the Savioke website, the Prince Park Tower Tokyo is within walking distance of Shinagawa Station in Tokyo and is part of a large hotel chain that includes a swimming pool, indoor golf course, tennis courts, bowling alley, restaurants, and more. With the addition of Relay’s services, the Prince Hotel’s visibility will be enhanced, signaling that Japanese hotels are gearing up for the Olympics.

Since Relay’s primary function is item delivery, its applications extend beyond hotels and are also suitable for regular apartments, warehouses, and more. By 2020, around 250 units may be deployed in daily life, meaning travelers will see it in even more places.
