Hotels.

If guests want to skip the human part entirely, they can do that too. Yotel also has automated check-in kiosks to complement the automated checkouts we’ve all become familiar with.
CNBC also tells us the Aloft in Cupertino has a robot rolling around to deliver room service and other amenities. So, no judgement when you order that late-late-night snack.
