Service Robots experiences huge surge
Robot renting and retail company Service Robots has experienced an unprecedented 400% increase in the number of clients purchasing robots to rent out, according to recent sales data.
This surge, which has occurred over recent months, can be attributed to the growing demand for service robots at weddings and corporate events. Traditionally, service robots have tended to be more popular in the export market rather than the domestic market. However, this recent development may indicate a major shift in the industry.
One of the primary reasons why service robots are becoming so popular is that they offer event attendees fun and original experiences. Indeed, the Service Robots sales data shows that photobooth robot hire is the most popular segment of the business, evidence of people’s desires to capture their memories in fun and innovative ways.
A company spokesperson for Service Robots explained: “Purchasing and hiring out service robots is a very lucrative activity right now. With corporate clients willing to pay up to £1,500 to hire a robot, even entrepreneurs who are new to the industry are watching their profits soar.
“We have heard of many instances in which people have purchased one of our service robots and come away with much more money than they had expected. What’s more, the idea is starting to catch on. We’ve already sold units across Europe, the USA, Canada, Dubai, and Nigeria, and the UK is also waking up to the potential of service robot hire.
“In my opinion, the robot industry is only just getting off the ground, as there are plenty of ways in which their capabilities can be applied across different industries including retail, healthcare, and manufacturing.”
At the moment, most of the demand for service robots centres around photography, advertising, survey-conducting, information provision, waitressing, and bar service.
All of these applications can benefit the UK events industry in a number of ways. Waitress robots, for example, allow hospitality managers to cut down on waiting staff and add some novel additions to their teams. Nothing is more intriguing or surprising than having a robot deliver your favourite glass of wine, for example.
Another sector that has seen the use of service robots really take off is the conference and corporate events industry. More than just offering a novel and exciting experience, products such as Service Robots’ Eva Survey Robot or their Amy Plus information robot are able to conduct complicated and time-consuming tasks.
The survey robot, for example, is good for collecting data about conference attendees to help make future events bigger and better. It can also help generate a database of potential clients and their email addresses, therefore expanding a company’s mailing list and potentially driving leads and sales.
The information robot, meanwhile, is capable of providing helpful information to visitors in a fun and engaging way. This can save companies the trouble of coming up with piles of information leaflets and answering countless questions during the event itself. Indeed, those hoping to rent out service robots would do well to point out these great benefits if they choose to get involved in the industry.
A recent client of Service Robots who purchased a robot and set up their own renting business explains: “Investing in a robot was one of the best financial moves I have ever made. At first, I was a little unsure of the sector and was worried that I would have trouble advertising my wares.
“My fears turned out to be totally unfounded, however. The UK events industry is totally enamoured with service robots at the moment, and I have been approached by countless companies trying to make their brand stand out from the crowd with these technological wonders.
“One of the best things about working in this industry is that it has a bright and exciting future. Robotics technology has come on leaps and bounds in recent years and continues to show great promise. As I grow my business, I hope to invest in more service robots to expand my offering and serve clients from new sectors. There really is a robot suited to every business, and I aim to make the most of this fact.”
At the moment, then, the huge surge in interest surrounding service robots does not seem to be abating. It has never been a better time to invest in the industry.
