Video: Dash is the hotel amenity delivery robot of your dreams

Crowne Plaza hotels are testing Dash, a smart amenity delivery robot which might soon replace bellhops, pages or porters. Dash can be programmed to deliver various amenities to specific hotel room guests. It can navigate the hotel, dash to the hotel room door, call the guests and when the door is opened- it completes the delivery. No need to tip Dash but you can rate timeliness or level of service and if Dash receives a good rating, it will break out into an R2-D2 type happy dance. The robot is being tested and has so far delighted various guests, Crowne Plaza is looking to deploy Dash in various hotels around the world.
