BellaBot
BellaBot is a delivery robot designed for commercial environments like hotels and restaurants. The best part? Its digital feline face, which reacts to human presence with animated emotions. The cat-headed robot even enjoys a good ear scratching. The company behind BellaBot, China-based Shenzen Pudu Technology Co., says the robot is built with an industry-leading simultaneous localization and mapping, or SLAM, positioning system that allows it to navigate complex spaces. The four-foot robot, which comes with four shelves for placing items, can delivery items automatically and collaborate with other robots thanks to integration with the Pudu Scheduler system. BellaBot is currently being used by more than a dozen hospitality brands in China, including Four Seasons and Sheraton. There are plans to expand in the U.S. through a distributor, but the release date and pricing details are currently not available.
