Bleep blorp: New Japanese hotel to be staffed by robots
As suggested in the title, Huis Ten Bosch, a theme park modeled after the Netherlands in Japan's Nagasaki Prefecture, has decided to open up a hotel that will be run by a robot staff. The hotel will be named Henna-na Hotel, which translates to Strange Hotel. According to information received from Huis Ten Bosch, the hotel's first phase will open on July 17 with a total of 72 rooms and will be fully be finished in 2016 with an additional 72 rooms. Three robots also known as actroids will be featured as receptionists for the Strange Hotel. According to Hideo Sawada, the president of the Strange Hotel he believes that the hotel will 90% more proficient and hopes that robots fully run the hotel. The Strange Hotel will also have many more interesting features such as face recognizing for room entrance, room temperature being adjusted based on body heat in the room, and other useful and energy proficient features. Finally, instead of rooms being at a fixed price, the pricing instead will be bided on. Personally, I believe if the hotel manages to perform all these actions, they will be a very successful business. However, I am really disinterested in the fact that room pricing will based on a bid. Hopefully the biding feature will be removed, which I believe would make the hotel more successful.
