[#TRAVEL] Consumers emotional engagement is at the core of the strategy for the use of humanoid robots in travel & hospitality. Pepper and NAO easily create an empathetic link with travellers and guests by their eye-catching appearances, moderate sizes and humanoid behaviours.
Why use humanoid robots in the Travel sector?
👉 Proactive engagement
Our robots call travellers and guests attention, initiate interaction by voice and animated expression, or pro-actively go towards people to start conversations.
👉 Communication on-the-fly
Being connected, our robots are able to search the latest information at a centralized level, generate, update and adapt their behaviour and content to fit local conditions and audience.
👉 Cognitive computing
Taking advantage of the embedded and cloud-based services, our robots can have continuously evolving behaviours to interact travellers and guests based on their real time analysis results.
