Wacky
but realistic, a hotel in the Netherlands-themed Huis Ten Bosch amusement park in Nagasaki,
Japan, is a two-story, 72-room Henn-na Hotel,
staffed by ten robots that greet guests, carry their luggage and clean their
rooms.
The Henn-na Hotel's
humanoid Robots blink, and is able to make eye contact, respond to body language, and speak fluent Chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English,
They check in guests, carry bags, make coffee, clean rooms, and deliver laundry.
At a news conference in Japan, Huis Ten Bosch president Hideo Sawada said, "In the future, we’d like to have more than 90 percent of hotel services operated by robots."
The hotel itself also features some high-tech amenities, such as facial recognition software that allow guests to enter locked rooms without a key, and room temperatures monitored by a panel that detects a guest's body heat.
