If you’ve ever seen the movie Bladerunner or Westworld, you’ll have thought about the dystopian future where humanoid robots are virtually indistinguishable from their human counterparts. While the Japanese hotel robots aren’t expected to be quite that advanced (or attractive), they will be able to perform a multitude of tasks, and it’s certainly the first time that we’ve heard of robots being used in the hotel industry for anything more than a gimmick.

The 72-room hotel will cost around $60 a night and offers a range of rooms, according to CNN, and they will perform a range of services such as greeting guests, completing the check-in process, carrying bags to a guest’s room and general housekeeping duties.

All robots are running Android 5.1, so don't be surprised if they have some hang-ups.

I'm reminded of the old joke about the Goblin teas made. [emoji1]

They can also clean your pipes and change your oil!

I have no problem with humanoid robots as hotel staff.

I do have to wonder how the reporter can anthropomorphise a machine to be considered sexy.

They should have these robots in Thailand. The rip off feature would be built in, and overcharging foreigners would be the first thing to program into the robot.

Their xxx videos are mostly old men using battery operated gizmos on girls' privates - ...am not surprised that robots will be taking over Japan's service industries.

Note to self......: When traveling to Japan, bring batteries to play with the female robots..........
