Keenon Robotics launched the new, compact and lightweight delivery robot T8 at the iREX 2022 tradeshow in Japan. The robot will make its debut in the Japanese market.

“Keenon Robotics is honored to have this opportunity to bring our latest technologies for intelligent robots to iREX 2022 where we are thrilled to showcase our wide-ranging and high-performance product line-ups designed for a variety of needs in the hospitality industry. Our tailor-made AI-powered robotic solutions enable restaurants and hotels to achieve high-efficiency automation, boosting employees’ productivity and elevating the customer experience to a whole new level,” said Murakami Matsuo, Regional Sales Director for Japan.

The newest feature that sets new model apart from its siblings is that it has a new centimeter-level positioning system. With the improved positioning resolution, the T8 can navigate narrower aisles in the complex seating area of a restaurant.

The T8 can also collaborate with other units in the restaurant to complete more complicated delivery tasks. This reduces response times, while providing a seamless and intuitive experience for guests.

Keenon’s high-precision automatic positioning and navigation technology allows the robots to quickly adapt to the working environment and deliver excellent cross-floor room delivery and dish-serving services.

The robots also include an auto-charging feature. This enables the robots to charge on their own and ensure continuity for busy work periods during meal time.
