Introduction

Reception robots can be used by companies to check visitors in, respond to questions, direct visitors or guests around indoor areas and other similar roles. Others serve both of these functions in addition to their use for delivery and guest-management.

However which robots are the right robot for you depends on the nature of the interaction required, the building configuration and how well the system can be integrated into your business.

UBTECH Cruzr 1S provides autonomous reception and visitor guidance, and so does Hantewin S30 - but the advertised support services are different.

Cruzr 1S emphasizes multi-language interaction, question answering and offering tours. Hantewin S30 integrates a reception, visitor-management, speech, and promotional functions into the business operations.

Based on ROBOT24.com market-research data records, this comparison examines their physical specifications, endurance, navigation, interactive features and deployment requirements.

How They Compare

Reception and visitors interaction

UBTECH Cruzr 1S is positioned as an interactive front desk and customer service solution. Its listed features include multi-language support, answering questions and information presentation and specific tours.

These types of services are suitable for buildings such as offices, hotels, visitor centres and other establishments when clients or visitors require guidance or help.

Hantewin S30 / Ben Xiao Bao S30 is designed for reactive reception and visitor management. In the product description of the manufacturer it is stated that it will support facial-recognition greeting, and guided tour, visitors interactions controlled by voice or on-screen commands.

While both robots aim to serve visitors, their focus is different. S30 is a combination of reception, visitor-management and delivery robots. Cruzr 1S is primarily a conversationally interactive information robot.

Physical design and dimensions

Cruzr 1S feature wheeled versions with a humanoid appearance. North American manual from 2019 indicated a width of 630mm, depth of 537mm and height of 1,210mm.

A few distributor listing show a height of 1,240 mm. These two measurements cannot be combined without specifying which hardware revision.

Hantewin S30 are 539 × 478 × 1,330 mm (ROBOT24.com).

This indicates that S30 is recorded as having a smaller footprint but a taller body. Nonetheless, the dimensions of the camera are not verified in an available technical spec of the manufacturer.

The dimensions of the robot need to be established before calculating doorway dimensions, circulation and storage.

Duration and charging

UBTECH claims the Cruzr 1S has an operating time of up to eight hours and a standby time of 24 hours. Cruzr 1S is also equipped with an automatic recharging feature.

Hantewin S30 has a recorded operating runtime of 10 hours and a charging time of approximately four hours.

While the user reported a longer recorded operation time with S30, the numerical ratings still need some technician confirmation.

Actual endurance will vary depending on frequency of navigation, number of visitor interactions, use of display and the environment in which it is used.

Both robots are unable to be granted a verified endurance advantage without a comparable operating test.

Guidance and automatic navigation

U-SLAM technology and upgraded depth vision, according to the current product description by the manufacturer, Cruzr 1S is equipped with UBTECH's U-SLAM navigation technology.

In addition, earlier and completely different Cruzr 1S manual cover LiDAR, RGB-D and proximity sensors. Again, these should be applicable to a particular revision of the hardware rather than they are universal.

Hantewin S30 can drive itself and perform guided tours. However, the sensor layout has not been confirmed from the limited information released by the manufacturer.

Both robots are designed to travel in an indoor space, although their competence at negotiating busy reception areas, winding corridors and changing configurations will be tested during site demonstrations.

Additional features and facility integration

Cruzr 1S is compatible with advertising and IoT connectivity as well as its reception and guidance roles.

This could be of interest for businesses where the presence of a robot is intended to be a combination of visitor support and marketing plus connected building services.

Hantewin S30 expands its reception operation with added intelligent delivery. Market-research.com entry reads 30 kg / 70L for payload / volume (hard to verify without primary sources).

The manufacturer also details the visitor identification and large display advertising features.

These extra functions might also be attractive to venues that want a robot that can be used to both interact with visitors and take care of some types of internal delivery work.

Verification of the exact installed configuration should ensure that such access-control integration, identity-management application and delivery workflows are present.

Summary

UBTECH Cruzr 1S and Hantewin S30 both have reception and visitor guidance features, yet the features described are aimed at different use cases.

Cruzr 1S could also be a good choice for venues looking to deliver multilingual communications, answer questions, provide guided tours, or other interactive info services. Its proven U-SLAM navigation and depth-vision features are also useful for inside visitor support.

Hantewin S30 might be suitable for any organisation that needs a solution with some reception, visitor management, guided tours, advertising and intelligent delivery. Its recorded passenger capacity and compartment volume are indicative of some further logistics capability, though these figures are provisional pending manufacturer confirmation.

Which system you decide to adopt is down to the facility's visitor needs, layout, system integration requirements and projected operating timetable. This comparison is derived from ROBOT24.com research records of market-research data and manufacturer-submitted performance capabilities rather than performance-testing.
