Launch of Next-gen Hospitality Robot

Lolly Nova, the latest offering from the technology company behind Fergus the robot waiter, will be at The Restaurant Show in Birmingham from 29th April to 1st May.

Standing at a height of 1.2 metres, the robot is designed to support waiting staff in a busy hospitality environment.

It can operate for a whole evening taking food from the kitchen to tables, interacting with customers and helping with clear down.

Features include obstacle avoidance sensors and speed control for precise and safe movement, giving the robot the ability to adapt to multiple environments.

It also incorporates smart voice recognition technology for an AI voice interaction experience. When not on the job, Nova will automatically return to its docking station, where it takes approximately three to four hours to fully recharge.

Nova is our new smart, efficient and collaborative robot, which follows on from valued customer feedback and continued testing by our development team.

"As with all our technology, Nova fully integrates with the Lolly digital suite of products - providing full reporting functionality.

Robots are proving popular with the industry, and we are proud to have led the way with our 2022 launch and continue to pioneer using the rapidly evolving AI capabilities being developed.

“Retaining clients through exceptional customer service has become critical during the current difficult trading period.

“As long as we have demand, we’ll keep innovating.

Robots are the future of hospitality service.

In fact, we’re so confident in this that we’ll soon be announcing the launches of hotel and home delivery robots.

Exciting times ahead.”

Lolly Nova is available either as a one-off purchase or, in the UK, under a monthly lease scheme which includes maintenance and support from the company.
