Watch: Robots to serve visitors at a hotel affiliated with the Chinese company “Alibaba”-

00:01:54

Video prices: 5 SAR weekly

Black robots move smoothly through the corridors of the Fly Zoo Hotel, affiliated with Alibaba, to provide services to customers, such as serving food, providing towels, and other requirements. The robots, which are one meter high, are part of the hotel equipped with the latest technology, which helps save expenses by paying workers’ salaries and providing faster services to customers without the need to communicate with employees. The hotel, which opened its doors to the public last month, contains about 290 rooms, and is equipped with modern technical services, which Alibaba seeks to promote in this hotel, so that it can sell it to other hotels in the future, as it considers it an opportunity to demonstrate the efficiency of artificial intelligence in this field. The hotel is located in the city of Hangzhou, which is located 170 km southwest of Shanghai, and is a few steps away from the headquarters of Alibaba. The cost of the room is about $205 per night. Despite the use of technology and robots in this hotel, there are some human workers, such as cleaners, chefs and receptionists, to deal with customers who do not want to expose their faces to be scanned through the screens. It can be said that this hotel will be an indicator for measuring customers' comfort levels when dealing with non-human elements in commercial places.

Your height and weight may extend your life to ninety Andy Wang, Executive Director of Future Hotel Management at Alibaba, said: “Our goal is to measure the effectiveness of this service, because robots are not as temperamental as humans.” Walking around the hotel gives you the feeling that you are inside one of the spacecrafts we see in Hollywood movies. Customers are checked in through a screen that scans their faces, passports, or personal cards. As for access to the rooms, it is done through a screen located in the elevators, which recognizes the customer’s face and transports him to the floor on which his room is located. They can also enter the room through the face scanning process. Tracey, one of the hotel residents, said: “It is a safe and fast process. I am not used to it yet, but in principle I can reach my room in one minute.” In rooms, voice commands can be issued so that the technical means in them interact to meet the request, such as increasing the temperature, closing the curtains, or even controlling the level of light and requesting room service. In the hotel restaurant, robots serve meals ordered by customers through the hotel application, while the payment process takes place through cameras that recognize the face and transmit the meal information to the room register, to be paid later. Upon final departure from the hotel, all the customer has to do is use the application, where the costs are deducted from Alibaba’s online wallet, and upon completion, the customer’s data is removed directly from the hotel system.
