The closest thing I've stayed in, which is also present in Austin, is CitizenM. CitizenM does not feature robots but has a very minimal staff by virtue of allowing you (and the staff) to do most things in an app - self-checkins, requesting cleaning, controlling the lights/shades/TV. The rooms are about 50% the size of a normal hotel room, the hotel room equivalent of a tiny house, are all identical (no variation on floor plan or bed size, etc), and 50% the cost of an equivalent hotel in terms of location/amenities. It's easy to imagine taking this further with physical automation.
