Use of robots in tourism industry in the next 10 years!

Nowadays technology has bigger impact on people's life, and of course in the future the technology will have important impact. In this week I would like to write about the future of tourism, and about how will develop this.

When I started to look for articles, most of the articles were about the developing of mobile applications but I wrote about it in the last two times, so I continued the searching. There were some article about robots, how they can make  the future of the tourism more easy, and how they can provide  for bigger experiences for the tourists.

Tourism industry only uses existing technologies such as websites, cloud computing, but it also creates opportunities for the development of new technologies that can specifically benefit this industry. For example, a new trend is the use of robots and humanoids to enhance a trip experience for travelers.

These robots are being used in a variety of ways within the tourism industry to make tourism more accessible to everyone and also, to give a unique experience for every traveler.

I have read a few articles about these robots what can replace human jobs in the future, these robots can be for example bar tender robots, or a cooking robots, or tourguide robots. It can be a lot of types of robot what we can use in the tourism industry.

Bar tender robots:

At first, the bar tender robots can help with serving food, drink and bavarages. I think there is no better way to combine drinking and technology than by employing the services of a robot bartender.  The guest, enter through a touchscreen or maybe they can download an application and with this app they can send what he or she wants to drink, then the robot will prepare these drinks and select the right combination of ingredients.

Some of these robots already exist, but I think in the future these robots can be more better than nowadays. 

More accurate systems to build into it, and  to be able to do more things and we should reduce the size of  these robots, it would be better with small sizes. Last but not least we have to pay attention to the environmentally friendly technology.

For example this robot exist now:

Bar2-D2: This robot can serve beers, make cocktails, and wheel over to someone badly in need of some refreshment. It also serves ice!  Drinks recipes can be programmed through a touch screen or can be loaded online. The machine pours your drink into a glass, then uses water to clean the nozzle for the next cocktail.

Cooking robots:

In  the last period when we had to choose an invention what can replace human jobs, we were searching with the others and I saw this cooking robot, so I think It can be useful int he next generation of tourism.

The cooking robots can also serving food and bavarage. It could be really useful for example in restaurants. They do not have to hire more workers, because this robots can do their job in the same time more faster and precise, than humans. You need to take the datas and recipes in to the robot via  touchscreen and a variety of other options, if the guests want to make changes. Then, after the order, the robot is able to prepare the right food for the guests.

Here is a video about an automatic kitchen in the future: 

Tour guide robots:

Many museums offer the robot tour guide facility to people who are unable to visit museums in person due to physical disabilities. These museums use telepresence robots to give a virtual guided tour of museums. these robots can also help physical and virtual visitors to overcome language barriers by speaking in a language that they understand. 

I think it is really usefull, because when we were in for example in Amsterdam and visited the Royal Palace,there was english tour guide but because of we are not fluent speakers, we did not understand everything, but this robot could solve this problem easily. This is likely to help all visitors to enjoy the place better.

This video is about how works the tour guide robot, but this is not exactly in museums this is in a university, but I think the place is not so important now, because we can see how it is works and how we can use later. So if we will develope these robots in the next 10 years we can use in tourism industry later. Development can be precise gps system, radar, 360 degree camera, sensors.

I was asking Ambrus and Jani, what are they think about the robots in tourism, and I get these answers from them:

Jani: I think in the future  of tourism, robots can be useful, because the monotonous works will disappear, for example exhibition guide, cashier..etc.  As long as the robots do not disturbe people's intimate sphere. And not because of the robots should be enjoyable the trip, because of the experience should be enjoyable.

Ambrus:I think it would be awesome for the guided tour, or administration work. And I think it is good because it won't dis
turbe the private zone of the people.

And in my opinion robots can be useful inventions for the tourism industry.

Companies in the hospitality industry are looking to tap into the power of robots. Earlier, robots used to cost tons of money, and it was difficult for everyone to buy these technologies, but nowadays the cost has come down because technology is more available than in the last 10 years. And it will be more available for everyone in next 10 years.
