Japan opens hotel run by ROBOTS that will welcome guests, carry bags and even clean your room

The robots that will welcome you to the hotel.

The future of the Humanoids has arrived in Japan.

In July, the Henn-na Hotel in Nagasaki will use robots as staff. They will check in new guests, carry their luggage and clean their rooms. The robots are designed to look and behave like young Japanese women. They can make eye contact and alter their body language. The hi-tech hotel will use facial recognition and detect guests' temperatures.
