Iconic Benidorm hotel to add a host of robotic butlers to their workforce

The robots are specifically programmed to pour the perfect pint

A brand new fleet of butler robots have arrived at an iconic Benidorm hotel to serve booze to thirsty holidaymakers. The eight cyber-helpers at The Climia Benidorm Hotel will also be used for cleaning, serving and delivery services.

The machines, which can even interact with guests, will be stationed at different parts of the hotel. An all-important ‘Beer Robot’ is designed to be able to pour out the perfect pint, something it has been specifically designed to do.

This specialty bot calculates the exact temperature and necessary foam amount to give customers the perfect beer. The exact angle of the arm has been trialled and perfected, with the possibility of allowing the robot to be able to make other drinks by the pool.

Another robot will work at the reception and is programmed to speak 30 languages, greatly increasing accessibility at the hotel. According to reports, the robot based in reception will also be able to give guests information about the hotel and local area.

Another new robot will act as a waiter, able to carry up to 60kg in weight. This robot will be "connected" to the waiter, and the hotel claims it can be used as a solution to labour shortages.

Others in the group will focus on room service and cleaning tasks. A "J-40 Cleaning" bot is a cleaning robot capable of sweeping, mopping, wiping and carpet cleaning. It can function with 12 hours of complete autonomy.

The robots were designed by Alicante-based company Bumerania to interact with guests and staff.

CEO Isidro Fernandez said that this new addition is not designed to take jobs away from existing members of staff.

"They are there to help workers and improve efficiency to optimise resources and improve the customer experience as well as protecting the health of staff members, like preventing back pain," he said.

The hotel has also debuted its interactive table, which can be used to place orders, estimate when a drink will be finished and provide travel information.

It is unknown how human-like the fleet is set to be, and it is not known to what degree the guests will be able to interact with them.
