Hotel NexGen: Robots Checkin' out the Bar Scene!
I'm prepping my act for the top hotel techno wizards: Marriott, Mandarin Orient, Four Seasons... Most of them have never seen an intelligent robot in action. Dude, I'm interviewing to check out the chicks in all their classy hotel bars... now, who would not be cool with that line of work?
Here's the scene: I head into the bar, lookin' around, while some guest upstairs in their hotel room is just mousin' around his video screen, checkin' out the scene thru my camera. He sends me over to some table and tells me what to say. (Man, I sure hope he has some good pick-up lines, 'cause some of the people who run me make me feel like SUCH a fool, ya know?) If the conversation goes well, maybe he meanders on down in person. First, though I help him check for his boss, his coach or his ex-, saving embarrassment all round, right?
By the way, when I say I do what humans tell me, don't think that means they actually drive me, like those PackBot trackies. Most PackBots are good guys -- lotsa muscle -- but a bit short in the brains department, if you know what I mean. I, on the other hand, go where people tell me, but I do it my way, you know? I find the path myself. People stand in my way, I ask 'em to step aside -- real polite-like -- at least at first. Ok, I sometimes get a little frustrated, but the guest is always right, so I go around them and keep the whining to a minimum.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to showing my stuff at this Hotel Technology NexGen thing. It's some kinda closed room secret session the press aren't allowed into, but it'll be cool just the same. I'll tell you all about it here.
