Robovex adds real-time AI voice intelligence to existing restaurant and hotel robots — transforming silent delivery machines into natural, talking service partners.
// How It Works
A staff member says the robot's name. In under 1.5 seconds, the robot understands, confirms, and navigates — all with natural voice.
Robot continuously listens for its name — "Robbie" — using on-device processing. Zero latency, zero data sent to the cloud until activation.
3–5 seconds of audio recorded after activation. Automatic stop on speech pause via Voice Activity Detection. Buffered locally.
Audio sent to Robovex cloud server. Whisper converts speech to text in 300–800ms. Supports Dutch, English, Russian and 10+ other languages natively.
Text parsed by LLM in milliseconds. Extracts action and destination from natural language. Returns structured JSON command instantly.
Robot receives navigate command via SDK. Pre-mapped restaurant with named locations (table_1…table_20, bar, kitchen). Autonomous obstacle avoidance.
ElevenLabs generates a natural voice reply in parallel with navigation start. The robot speaks in the correct language: "On my way to table two!"
Robot arrives, pauses 1 second, then greets guests by table context. After delivery, automatically returns to base or awaits the next command.
// Pricing Model
No per-interaction fees, no hidden costs, no API invoices. You pay a flat monthly rate — Robovex handles everything under the hood.
// Hardware Partners
Robovex integrates with open-SDK robots available in the Netherlands today. No hardware lock-in — bring your own robot or source through our partners.
// Market Opportunity
Voice AI companies target phones and drive-thrus. Robot companies ship silent hardware. No one has combined them. Robovex occupies the white space.
// Competitive Landscape
Vox AI (Amsterdam, $10M), Presto Voice, ConverseNow, SoundHound — all target phone lines and drive-thru speakers. None operate physical robots.
Pudu, Keenon, Bear Robotics, OrionStar — all ship delivery robots with scripted or no voice. None have AI voice intelligence.
✦ Robovex = Voice AI layer × Physical robot hardware — the intersection nobody owns yet.
// Remote Management
Robbie's brain lives on our servers, not on the robot. That means any change — a new menu item, a different tone of voice, a new table layout — takes minutes, not a technician visit.
Want Robbie to upsell tonight's special? Speak more formally? Add a new delivery zone? We update the server config — your robot changes behaviour instantly, mid-service if needed.
Moved tables for a private event? Added a terrace? We update the navigation map remotely via Robot SDK. No on-site visit, no downtime.
Switch Robbie's voice, language, or character style remotely. Want a warmer tone for weekends? A different name for a rebranded venue? One config change, instant effect.
For deeper changes we connect directly to the robot over your WiFi network — no physical access needed. Software updates, diagnostics, and fixes happen while the robot is still on the floor.
// Get In Touch
We're running our first pilot programs in the Netherlands in 2026. Limited slots available for early restaurant and hotel partners.
