A SoftBank Robotics Europe Certified Partner from Robots of London discusses the company’s robot applications, a Pepper deployment for the GSMA at Mobile World Congress, and its expanding partnership with SoftBank Robotics.
Robots of London is based near London and develops meet-and-greet, receptionist, hotel concierge, and retail packages. It also builds bespoke applications for large clients seeking solutions to specific problems.
At Mobile World Congress, Robots of London presented an application for the GSMA’s VIP hospitality lounge. Pepper explained the GSMA, membership, and benefits, and let guests order drinks that were sent to the bar for service.
The company enjoys working with Pepper and sees it as a fun office environment. Development can be challenging, and the team aims to keep improving its software to make better use of the robot.
The partnership began a little over two years before the recording, first as a software partnership and later as a Pepper reseller arrangement. Robots of London also became a NAO reseller and expanded its territory by four countries into Scandinavia.
