The [robotic photobooth](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nubo-smart) works by roving around an event space and chatting with guests to encourage them to have their photo taken. The unit will then send the photos to the guest via email or SMS and can even print them out directly from within the system to provide a physical keepsake immediately. The 'Selfiebot' can be totally customized by the event hosts to have it interact with guests in a specific manner to enhance the experience for everyone. The system also acts as an [automated photographer](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ebo-air-2) that will encourage everyone to have their photo taken. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.9/10 - Popularity: 48% | Activity: 30% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Photography](https://www.trendhunter.com/photography) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Robotic Event Photobooths:** Disruptive innovation opportunity for event planning companies to offer interactive and mobile photobooth experiences. - **Personalized Guest Interactions:** Opportunity for businesses to enhance customer experiences by customizing robotic devices to interact and engage in a tailored manner. - **Instant Photo Printing:** Opportunity for printing companies to offer on-site printing services for event photos, providing immediate physical keepsakes to guests. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Event Planning:** Event planning companies can incorporate robotic photobooths to create unique and engaging experiences for attendees. - **Hospitality:** Hotels and resorts can provide robotic photobooths as a value-added service to enhance guest experiences and capture special moments. - **Printing Services:** Printing companies can offer mobile printing solutions for on-site event photo printing, reducing waiting time for guests. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [360 Photo Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/360-photo-booth.md) - [AI-Powered Portrait Studios](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-portrait-studio.md) - [Revived Modular Photo Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/frames-booth.md) - [Event Photo Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/joycapture.md) - [Portable Photobooth Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hp-sprocket-photobooth.md) - [AI Photography Robots](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gency-pb.md) - [AI Photo Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kitakit-ai.md) - [AI-Generated Selfies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dreambooth.md) - [Digital Photo Booth Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digital-photo-booth-experiences.md)
