In 2026, hospitality has become a high-tech art. We present Inductive Power Waiter Service Bots—a new generation of service machines. At Reception Space, we design lobbies where autonomous assistants provide flawless catering 24/7. Thanks to induction loops hidden beneath the floor, these robots never retreat to a 'base' for lengthy charging, staying always on duty. We explore how contactless energy makes service in your lobby truly continuous.
Energy Underfoot: 'Always-On' Technology
2026 technology has freed robots from wires and downtime. In a Reception Space lobby, induction power transfer zones are integrated beneath the flooring. The robot recharges dynamically by simply passing over them or stopping to deliver an order. This allows for the use of compact, lightweight batteries, freeing up space within the chassis for additional functions: cooled compartments, heating systems, or even built-in cocktail preparation. Service without pauses or breaks.
Social AI: The Etiquette of the Iron Waiter
Navigation and interaction in dense pedestrian flows
In 2026 projects from Reception Space, robot-waiters possess advanced social intelligence. They don't just bypass obstacles—they 'understand' context: they don't interrupt conversations, politely wait their turn, and can read guest gestures. A guest can order a drink with just a nod of the head or via a personalized app. The robot recognizes you via biometrics and serves coffee exactly how you like it, maintaining ideal distance and etiquette.
