Title: Robotics in Hospitality: Meet Jarvis
Creator
Subject
Description: With the continuous advancement of technology, changes are bound to occur within every industry in today’s society. From personal AI assistants to autonomous vehicles, technology is reaching new heights each and every day. Jarvis, a self-navigating service robot, was completed by a group of four Computer Science students at the California University of Pennsylvania in order to research the many uses of robotics. In this research project, the creation of Jarvis aims to provide insight into what the hospitality industry would look like with robots like Jarvis and how they can benefit the industry as a whole. Through the use of artificial intelligence, computer engineering, and electrical engineering, Jarvis has the ability to carry objects on a balance plate and navigate his surroundings simultaneously. Jarvis makes use of a client-server system that allows users to send requests and have them accepted by administration. This type of communication allows for more personalization for the user, a quicker service, and an easier workload for the human staff. For example, by allowing a self-navigating robot to travel back and forth between destinations on a single hotel floor, employees will have more time to focus on their daily tasks, while also keeping their visitors satisfied. Although research has been completed on similar ideas, this project seeks to demonstrate the abilities of an autonomous service robot through physical creation, documentation, and development. The application of robots like Jarvis will allow the hospitality industry to grow in areas such as customer satisfaction, service effectiveness, and productivity., Honors Thesis Advisor : Dr. Weifeng Chen, PhD .
