2/12 Weekly Tech Article


The Henn-na Hotel located within Huis Ten Bosch,a Nagasaki theme work made to look like The Netherlands, will be opening a hotel that employs robot workers. These robots are called "actroids" and apparently can establish eye contact and respond to body language. Once you check in with the receptionist robot, an industrial robot will get your luggage, while the remaining robots will take care of other needs, For example, they will make your coffee, clean your room, deliver your laundry, and more. This hotel is a two story structure that only contains 72 rooms, which makes it hard to get a room with the popular demand. Even with these actroids, the hotel staff will include 10 human employees. In the future, the developers hope to build 1,000 similar hotels worldwide.
