First robot butler on offer to luxury LA renters for $25,000 a month and it can operate lifts, deliver packages and serve meals and drinks

People who can afford $25,000 (£20,000) a month to hire a luxury apartment in Los Angeles are being offered a robot butler, which provides room service with a personal touch.

Crescent Heights, who operates a 40-storey tower block in Beverly Hills, have thrown in the electronic valets, nicknamed Charley, as part of the rental fee.
The building, known as Ten Thousand, will be the first in the world to use the Relay model, designed by California-based robotics company Savioke.

The robot (pictured), nicknamed Charley, is the first to be used in a residential building. It can deliver packages, meals and drinks right to the door

Charley, which looks a bit like R2D2 from Star Wars, It can deliver packages, meals and drinks right to the door of the resident and can even operate lifts on its own.

All those who move into the building will be given special iPads allowing them to order items which will be delivered by a team of Charleys.

Roman Speron, vice president of Crescent Heights, said: 'We have established ourselves as an innovator in high-rise residential technology, and Ten Thousand is undoubtedly the building of the future.

Charley (pictured) comes complete with a secure compartment so there is no risk of someone pinching another resident's delivery as he brings it to an apartment

'People rely on technology more than ever to simplify their lives, but often technology can prove challenging for residents.'

Mr Speron said: 'We have simplified the process so that residents can enjoy more leisure time, from having a parcel that just arrived to getting a morning latte delivered via robot to their front door.

'Similarly, the benefit of having a designated tech concierge means residents can call upon our in-house tech team with any type of request and be able to bypass waiting for phone tech support to get on the line and offer personalised assistance.'
