A high-tech hotel opening in Japan will be
staffed by multilingual robots
This summer 2015, a hotel will open in
the Netherlands-themed Huis Ten Bosch
amusement park in Nagasaki, Japan.
It will have 72 rooms.
Room fees will start at $60 per night.
And it will be staffed by 10 humanoid
robots.
The Henn-na Hotel's blinking and "breathing"
actroids will be able to make eye contact
respond to body language, and speak fluent
chinese, Japanese, Korean, and English.
The robot staff will be supplemented with
a human staff ... for now.
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 actroids aren't the only futuristic thing
about the Henn-na.
Guests will be able to unlock their rooms through
facial recognition software and radiation panels
capable of detecting body heat will monitor
and adjust room temperatures.
This isn't just some futuristic fever dream, the
hotel is scheduled to open on July 17th, 2015.
