CES 2018: Delivery Robots are Full-Time Employees at a Las Vegas Hotel

IEEE Spectrum Robotics 

On the floor of CES, LG's CLOi service robots got a lot of attention. But just across the parking lot from the Las Vegas Convention Center, two service robots--both Relay robots from San Jose-based Savioke--are quietly at work. These robots, tagged Elvis and Priscilla, are full-time employees of the Renaissance Hotel, and they aren't getting a lot of attention. When Priscilla navigated through the crowded lobby to make a delivery on Wednesday, only a few people pulled out cameras. Others casually brushed by, sometimes giving it a little pat as they passed.
