Abellcart Inc. and Alphadroid Robotics Join Forces

Tampa, FL – Abellcart Inc., a Tampa-based hospitality robotics and automation startup founded by Brandon Burnett, has officially partnered with Alphadroid Robotics, a global robotics technology company, to bring a new era of automation to the hospitality and travel industries. 

Together, the two companies are collaborating with Forbes Industries, the world’s leading manufacturer of hotel equipment, to design and deliver the next generation of robotic luggage carts, restaurant service robots, housekeeping carts, banquets and more.

This three-way partnership combines Abellcart’s deep hospitality expertise, Alphadroid’s technical and engineering strength, and Forbes’ unmatched global distribution network in hotel equipment. The goal is to create affordable, scalable robotics solutions that reduce labor strain, improve guest satisfaction, and streamline operations in hotels, airports, casinos, and convention properties worldwide.

“Robotics are no longer a luxury for the hospitality industry—they are a necessity,” said Brandon Burnett, Founder & CEO of Abellcart. “With Alphadroid’s engineering, Forbes’ reach, and our operations background, we’re creating solutions that any property can adopt affordably and effectively.”
 

The companies are currently in the development phase, with the first prototypes scheduled for launch by the end of this year (2025). The robotic luggage cart—Abellcart’s flagship product—will allow guests and staff to transport luggage hands-free, reducing congestion at arrival and departure points while cutting costs for operators.

“Our mission is to build robotics that are both powerful and accessible,” said Alphadroid CEO, Sanjeev Kumar. “Partnering with Abellcart and Forbes allows us to accelerate innovation and rapidly scale into everyday hotel operations.”
 

This partnership arrives at a critical time for hospitality and travel industries facing ongoing labor shortages, rising wages, and increasing guest expectations. By uniting their strengths, the three companies aim to lead a new era of guest service automation, while giving owners and operators practical, cost-effective solutions to modern challenges.
