Styx’s vision is becoming reality at a hotel run mostly by robots. From MSN
“Henn na Hotel, as it is called in Japanese, was shown to reporters on Wednesday, complete with robot demonstrations, ahead of its opening to the public on Friday.
Hideo Sawada, who runs the hotel as part of an amusement park, said the move to use robots was aimed at utilising technology and achieving efficiency.
The 'staff' include a dinosaur-shaped receptionist robot that speaks in English, and the one that speaks Japanese, shaped like a woman with blinking lashes.
The visitor still has to punch a button on the desk, and type in information on a touch panel screen.”
