Zürich’s The Dolder Grand just stepped into the world of artificial intelligence by introducing its brand-new AI robotic housekeeper. Despite its small size, the mobile and innovative robot for housekeeping has been a big help to staff. It can also provide personalized services for guests.
The PUDU CC1 cleaning robot operates unattended and, thanks to its sophisticated positioning system, is ideally equipped to implement navigation solutions for tasks in complex scenarios more efficiently. The robot features four different cleaning functions, providing effective cleaning of various floor surfaces. In addition, the AI housekeeper navigates in all directions, refills with water automatically and returns to the charging station by itself.
“We are looking to the digital future with great optimism. The advantage of artificial intelligence in the shape of our cleaning robot is the time saved, which allows our staff greater scope to focus more on their role as hosts. We are all passionate hosts and, as staff, therefore want to invest as much time as possible into creating unique moments for our guests,” said Randy Hitti, director of rooms division, The Dolder Grand. “Using the PUDU CC1 to clean our extensive event facilities, guest floors and lobby areas within the City Resort now enables our staff to focus on our guests more effectively.”
