Collaborative Robots and the Future of Robotic receptionists
Overview
Emerging as a prominent solution for the limitation of the robotic workforce, collaborative robots are predicted to make a substantial impact on the future of workplaces, specifically in receptions. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the collaborative robot market size is projected to grow from $710 million (2020) to $12 billion (2025). McKinsey estimates that by 2025, robots could perform about 25 percent of jobs across various sectors including hospitality, where robotic receptionists would feature prominently. This guide provides insights into the emergence of robotic receptionists, their potential benefits, and the role of 3Laws Robotics in this development.
Robotic Receptionists – The Future of Reception Industry
The need for round-the-clock, efficient, and reliable services has increased demand for Robotic Receptionists in varied sectors. Meticulous Research predicts that receptionist robots could contribute to reducing business costs by 3.6 percent annually worldwide by 2022. Further, the IFR estimates that programs involving receptionist robots could achieve 30% error reduction on an annual basis. These robots, however, are not intended to replace human receptionists but are to be collaboratively used to enhance efficiency and customer experience.
Benefits of Robotic Receptionists
Robotic receptionists offer several advantages. They can operate 24/7, maximizing work efficiency and productivity compared to human receptionists who usually work for 8 hours daily. According to an MIT study, receptionist robots increased productivity by up to 10% in test cases. Further, a study from Oxford Economics anticipates an average of a 20% increase in productivity when human receptionists collaborate with robotic counterparts. This collaboration also allows a broader scope of responsibilities for human receptionists.
