1. MOCKUPS
Yotel guests are able to free from room services, especially at night time. Hotel owners are free from hiring night time workers for extra expenses.
Since the payment card is linked to customer, it does not require additional information when they order the room service.
Staying safe in the room is important when in a new city. If someone knocks on the door, it will be hard to identify. With the robotic service, our system provides camera to identify it is robot coming.
2.USER FLOW
A self-manageable robotic hotel based on YOTEL Brand chain for travelers to enjoy a short stay when they are transferring at stations, especially providing services for safety and efficiency.

Apart from these, with the feedbacks from testing and students

• If the user opens the door, they should be able to see the robot outside
• Tracking the robot routes and give feedbacks real-time can help guest feel safe
• Accessories can be grouped into packages if hotel wants efficiency of delivery
• Smart Conversation on the screen can be a good add on without voices
