Servi with a smile? Not quite, but it's getting there Covenant_Living Northbrook
That's Servi -- standing 41 inches tall, 17 inches in circumference, and made by Bear Robotics of California.
"It's a pretty nice thing to have. It changed the whole ambience of the dining," said Victor Soriano, Covenant Living's dining director."It's interesting, the residents and employees react to the robot now. Originally, the employees saw the robot coming from the kitchen and they moved to one side to let pass by. It's like another part of the dining room now."
Dining Manager Victor Soriano explains the use of Servi, a robot server that is being used in the dining room at Covenant Living of Northbrook. - Joe Lewnard | Staff Photographer Once COVID was discovered to be an airborne illness the pressing issue became one of staffing, which continues still. Using a touch screen, it can be programmed in a variety of ways, depending on what functionality is desired. It can make a loop with intermittent stops, or can be directed to visit a specific location or table.
Servi, a robot server that is being used in the dining room at Covenant Living of Northbrook, waits for plates to be placed on it in the kitchen during dinner. - Joe Lewnard | Staff Photographer There are a few limitations. The robot can sing"Happy Birthday to You," but can't open doors, navigate stairs or elevators, or handle thresholds, such as those leading to an outdoor patio. The maximum a food expediter can place onto it is seven plates.
