Japan has opened the doors to the world’s first automated, robot-staffed hotel, replacing people with pretty, life-like female humanoid receptionists and a bow tie-wearing, dinosaur concierge.
At the Henn-na Hotel, or “Strange Hotel”, guests check in, check out, get their rooms cleaned and their luggage conveyed by a fleet of blinking, beeping and rolling robots that the hotel describes as “warm and friendly”.
