Depending on where you stand when it comes to robots and artificial intelligence, the following piece of news will either make you giddy with excitement or terrify you. When a new Japanese hotel opens its doors in July this year, it will do so with robot staff. According to The Telegraph, the Henn-na Hotel, currently under construction in Nagasaki, will be partially staffed by “actroid” androids. The actroids are designed to look as much like humans as possible and will be capable of doing everything from making coffee to greeting guests and carrying luggage to their rooms.
