The Nightmare in Silicon Valley: 8 horror technologies that should scare you to death
Every night is fright night with what can happen once these scary technologies take hold in ways that you may not have imagined.
Make no mistake, the robots are keeping score. Here's the latest tally in the robots v. humans matchup.
"The time has finally come when robots are going to be at our beck and call," Savioke's CEO, Steve Cousins, told me a couple years ago. "And for our robots in the hospitality industry we mean that quite literally."
Savioke makes Relay, a 3-feet tall robot that weighs less than 100 pounds and is designed to travel at human walking pace as it makes deliveries to hotel guests. It can even call the elevator via Wi-Fi to navigate between floors.
No palm greasing is required during deliveries... but I'm guessing it does need some oil now and then.
TAKEAWAY: The service industry is being automated at all levels.
WINNER: ROBOTS
SCORE: 2-2
