Tesla CEO Elon Musk has already disrupted the automotive and social media sectors, but now he may be about to revolutionise hospitality.
At the latest Cybercab event, Musk unveiled the latest version of the Tesla Optimus robots, who walked amongst the audience, even speaking to them and showcasing their conversational skills.
Crucially, it also showed how robots could be used in the hospitality and drinks trade, with the products serving beverages to the audience present at the event – as hightlighted below.
The videos of conversations with the device, and considering Musk’s own development of AI through his Grok platform, it is easy to also imagine a world where a bar robot will be given a comprehensive, encyclopaedic knowledge of wines, spirits and beers, offering the customer a bespoke service in a venue.
