LG begins trials for indoor robot delivery service Cloi Servebot
LG Electronics has started trials for its indoor robot
called Cloi Servebot that can carry up to 15 kgs of items in its three drawers
and deliver them efficiently and hygienically to its destination without remote
control.
The company said on Monday that LG Cloi Servebot will deliver
products from convenience stores run by local store chain GS25 to the customers
within LG Science Park, the company's headquarters in Seoul.
The company earlier deployed the robot assistant at Seoul National
University Hospital where it has been tasked with picking up and delivering
equipment, blood samples, prescription drugs and other items, freeing up busy
staff to concentrate on patients.
The robots can get onto elevators on their own to move between
nine floors above ground and a basement level to deliver lunch boxes,
sandwiches, and drinks, LG said.
Customers can order using their KakaoTalk chat app. After the
order is made, convenience store employees will put the ordered goods into the
robot's drawers and input the destination, reports ZDNet.
In March, LG Cloi Servebots were deployed to a restaurant to carry
food trays to tables.
