This New Hotel Is the First in Africa to Introduce Robot Staff

Opened in November 2020, Hotel Sky in Sandton, Johannesburg, made its debut with three robots: Lexi, Micah, and Ariel. Lending a helpful hand to the human staff at the property, these robots are the hotel's answer to travelers' increased desire for socially distant interactions. Lexi, Micah, and Ariel can deliver room service, provide travel information, and carry up to 165 pounds of luggage each from the marble-floored lobby to the rooms.
