Japan’s Henn-Na hotel is the first hotel entirely staffed by robots

Located in the historical Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Japan, this new lodging place is the world's first hotel staffed by human-like robots, including porter-bots and reception-bots.

There is this robot velociraptor behind reception. There is the facial-recognition key system. There are the banks of vending machines that replace the dining room and many more automated features.

Also in Japan, the Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi put a humanoid robot on reception; Nestlé employs robots to sell coffee makers in stores across the country; and Humanoid robots joined staff at Tokyo’s National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation.

Will robots rule the world? Don’t we need human interaction?
