在前面的雅思口語話題素材當中，我們給大家介紹了很多關于人工智能的話題，說到人工智能不得不說的就是機器人了，本期我們要給大家分享一下雅思口語Part 3 機器人在服務行業當中的運用，大家可以看一下哦。

其實早前以疫情時代之前，機器人便已開始應用于服務業了。比如日本長崎的Henn-na酒店，在2015年開始營業時，就因成為全球首家以機器人作為酒店員工的酒店而在網上走紅。

When it first opened in 2015, Henna-na Hotel in Nagasaki, Japan, became the world’s first hotel staffed by robots. The news immediately went viral.

The hotel robots are developed to do a variety of tasks that used to be done by humans, such as front desk services, storage services and check-in and check-out services.

Today, more and more hotels have their basic services done by robots. For example, there’re robot butlers and robot luggage porters, which use a variety of technologies, including collision detection, Wi-Fi and AI.

Amazon began using robotics in its facilities as far back as 2012, wishing to improve productivity in its supply chain.

Using warehouse robots to do manual work, such as lifting and turning large or heavy packages, has helped the company reduce the risk of employee injuries.

Most recently, Amazon introduced Sparrow, a state-of-the-art robot capable of recognising and handling millions of items.

In the post-covid-19 world, public works and public safety departments have widely used robots to spray disinfectant throughout public spaces.

The use of robots is also widespread at airports and supermarkets, where mobile robots spray chemicals on their facilities and sweep and mop the floor.

Robots have been making their way into restaurants as technology becomes cheaper and demand for contactless services increases.

If you dine at a restaurant, you’ll probably see a bunch of robots moving to and fro. They are busy guiding guests to their tables, delivering food, carrying the dishes back and even singing a birthday greeting for celebrations.
