Flexibility, traceability and modularity for diverse applications
Multiservice robots represent a new generation of semi-humanoid robotic systems engineered to streamline complex operations across multiple industries — from HORECA and retail to industrial automation and healthcare environments. Combining AI-driven navigation, plug-and-play configuration, and intuitive programming, these robots eliminate repetitive manual tasks, reduce human error, and boost overall productivity.
Built for flexibility, traceability, and modular integration, multiservice robots can adapt to virtually any process or workspace, whether delivering food in restaurants, assisting patients in hospitals, or handling materials on production floors. They redefine how businesses approach efficiency, safety, and customer interaction, transforming everyday workflows into seamless, data-driven operations.
Multiservice Robots
Multiservice Robots in
HORECA
In the hospitality sector, multiservice robots enhance service efficiency and guest experience. They autonomously deliver food and beverages, navigate safely through busy areas, and reduce staff workload while maintaining high productivity and consistency. Restaurants, cafes, and hotels gain not only efficiency but also a modern and attractive image.
Multiservice Robots in Industry
In industrial environments, multiservice robots can be configured for multiple use cases such as assembly, pick & place, packaging, or quality control.
They improve productivity, ensure consistent performance, and allow precise, repetitive actions with real-time data monitoring for better process optimization.
Multiservice Robots in Retail
In retail, multiservice robots transform the customer experience and operational efficiency. They automate merchandising, restocking, and product handling while assisting with customer interactions and personalized recommendations.
They can also support in-store marketing and promotion campaigns, offering interactive digital engagement and smart data-driven activations.
Multiservice Robots in the Medical Field
In hospitals and clinics, multiservice robots act as real assistants for healthcare professionals. They can autonomously transport medicine, samples, and materials, support cleaning and disinfection tasks, and interact empathetically with patients.
This automation helps reduce repetitive workloads, enhance hygiene, and give medical staff more time to focus on patient care.
Technology That Redefines Human Experience
Multiservice robots represent the bridge between automation and intelligent human assistance.
By integrating them into HORECA, industrial, retail, and medical workflows, organizations can:
- Improve efficiency and safety
- Enhance customer and patient experiences and create collaborative, sustainable work environments.
Multiservice robots are no longer just a futuristic concept – they are active partners in redefining how we work, serve, and innovate.

Applications of Multiservice Robots Across Industries
Multiservice robots are designed for versatility, enabling seamless automation across a wide range of industries. Their modular architecture, autonomous navigation, and AI-driven adaptability make them ideal for complex, high-traffic, or precision-demanding environments.
1. HORECA (Hospitality, Restaurants, and Catering)
In the hospitality industry, semi-humanoid service robots automate repetitive front-of-house and back-of-house tasks:
- Food and beverage delivery robots streamline restaurant workflows and reduce wait times.
- Autonomous tray-return and cleaning systems maintain hygiene and service flow.
- Interactive concierge and reception robots enhance the guest experience with multilingual voice assistance and smart navigation.
Example: Restaurants using service robots have reported up to 30% faster table turnover and 40% lower labor costs.
2. Retail and Shopping Centers
In retail, multiservice robots enhance both customer engagement and store operations:
- Inventory scanning robots track stock levels in real time using RFID or LiDAR-based mapping.
- Promotional robots interact with customers through touchscreens, digital signage, or voice AI.
- Autonomous shelf-replenishment units reduce downtime and ensure merchandising consistency.
Retailers adopting robotics have achieved 20–25% higher operational efficiency and increased customer satisfaction scores.
3. Healthcare and Medical Facilities
In hospitals and clinics, medical multiservice robots assist in logistics, hygiene, and patient support:
- Autonomous delivery robots transport medication, samples, or sterilized equipment safely.
- UVC disinfection modules eliminate pathogens, improving infection control.
- Patient interaction robots provide emotional and logistical assistance in wards and waiting rooms.
Hospitals using medical robots have reduced cross-contamination risks by up to 99.9%.
4. Industrial and Manufacturing Environments
In factories, autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) and collaborative service units optimize workflows:
- Pick-and-place automation for light assembly or packaging.
- Material transport robots streamline logistics between production lines.
- AI-powered inspection units perform quality checks and collect real-time production data.
Industrial robots can increase throughput by up to 35%, with payback periods often under 18 months.
5. Corporate and Office Environments
In modern workplaces, multiservice robots act as operational assistants:
- Autonomous reception robots handle visitor check-ins and navigation.
- Delivery robots transport documents or supplies between departments.
- Cleaning and air-quality monitoring units maintain health and hygiene standards.
6. Education and Public Spaces
In schools, universities, and museums, robots serve as interactive learning and information tools:
- Educational robots deliver guided tours and interactive lectures.
- Safety monitoring robots ensure security and crowd management.
- Promotional or event robots engage attendees with AI-driven communication.
FAQ: Everything You Need to Know About Multiservice and Service Robots
A multi-functional robot (or multiservice robot) is designed to perform several types of tasks across different environments. For example, it can deliver food in a restaurant, assist customers in a store, or transport medical supplies in a hospital — all using the same modular, reprogrammable system.
A service robot is a robot that performs useful tasks for humans or equipment, excluding industrial automation. Service robots can be personal (used at home) or professional (used in business environments like hotels, hospitals, and offices).
Autonomous mobile robots use advanced sensors, cameras, and AI navigation systems to move safely in dynamic environments without human supervision. They are commonly used in warehouses, retail spaces, and healthcare for logistics, cleaning, or delivery.
Five common examples include:
- Delivery robots – used in hotels or hospitals for room or ward delivery.
- Food service robots – serving meals and drinks in restaurants.
- Cleaning robots – such as autonomous floor scrubbers in commercial spaces.
- Reception robots – greeting and guiding guests in lobbies or exhibitions.
- Medical assistant robots – transporting samples and supporting patient care.
Professional service robots are used in commercial and industrial settings to perform tasks like logistics, disinfection, inspection, or maintenance. They’re built for reliability, scalability, and continuous operation in demanding environments.
Service robots in marketing act as interactive brand ambassadors. They can display digital content, engage customers with touchscreens or speech, gather data, and even distribute promotional materials at events or in retail stores.
In restaurants, service robots can deliver food and drinks, guide customers to their tables, collect empty dishes, and enhance guest interaction, improving speed, hygiene, and customer satisfaction.
The price of a service robot varies based on functionality and application, from around $8,000 for basic delivery models to over $40,000 for advanced semi-humanoid or AI-integrated robots with multi-role capabilities.
A personal service robot* is designed for individual use, assisting with household chores, companionship, or health monitoring. Unlike professional service robots, they are optimized for ease of use, safety, and interaction in home environments.
