StarHub and ST Kinetic roll out laundry robots in hotels

Singapore

ROBOTS transporting dirty linen from guest rooms to a laundry collection point could soon become a common sight in hotels here, following a new partnership by StarHub and ST Kinetics, which will introduce Aethon TUG robots to hotels to streamline their laundry processes.

Both companies said on Monday that for a start, the TUG robots will be deployed next year in three hotels - Capri By Frasers Changi City Point, Four Points by Sheraton and Grand Copthorne Waterfront.
