Even if its just a demo its really slick. Tech has come a long way. Can't say I want to talk to a droid to check-in at a hotel or bump into one at home all the time but I'm sure there are some obvious civilian use cases around.

It's cool, but it's total uncanny valley for me, and I haven't gotten that from real robots before. Something about the movement in particular is odd.
Yotel and others have already transitioned to an app/kiosk-based hotel check in system.
At a certain price point, our choice will be either hotel with bot or AirBnb.
