Realbotix humanoid robot now supports 15 languages to boost hospitality, healthcare, tourism

SMRTR summary

A lifelike humanoid robot that speaks 15 languages fluently is poised to revolutionize customer service and healthcare. Realbotix's latest AI-powered creation can now engage visitors and patients in their native tongues, bridging communication gaps in hospitals, airports, and tourist attractions.

"Adding multilingual support to our humanoid robot is a meaningful step toward more human-centred technology," says Andrew Kiguel, CEO of Realbotix. "Whether in a hospital or a hotel, understanding and responding in someone's native language builds trust and makes the experience more personal."

With expressive faces and natural dialogue capabilities, these robots aim to inform, assist, and interact with consumers across various industries. As the global market for humanoid robots is projected to skyrocket from $2.93 billion in 2025 to $243.40 billion by 2035, we may soon find ourselves chatting with these artificial attendants at our favorite theme park or local emergency room.

While the technology is impressive, it raises questions about the future of human interaction and employment in service industries.
