What if you stayed a hotel and never saw a soul apart from the other people staying at the establishment. You could walk in and self check-in at kiosks at the front desk; put your luggage on a cart taken by a robotic bellboy to your room; order food via touchscreen in your room (cooked by humans in the basement of the hotel) which is delivered to your room by said robotic bellboy. This scenario is quite feasible today. If you're willing to make your own bed (complicated for robots), a roomba will vacuum the room and a scooba can wash the bathroom floors.
In fact, the hotel Yotel opening up on 10th Ave and 41st Street in New York offers some of these features already. After self check-in, guests can give their luggage to a robotic arm or bellboy called Yobot. Yobot will put luggage into storage bins if the guest arrived before check-in or just wants to take a stroll before going up to the room.
