A stay at the forthcoming Henn-na Hotel of Japan\u2019s Huis Ten Bosch amusement park is going to feel like a stroll down the aisles of the Consumer Electronics Show<\/a>. Charming, multi-lingual robots called Actroids (presumably a portmanteau of \u201cactress\u201d and \u201candroid\u201d \u2014 not to be confused with an irritating medical condition) will check you in at the front desk. A giant robotic arm will be the porter that handles your luggage. You\u2019ll gain entry to your room via facial recognition technology, you\u2019ll order room service via tablet, and your body heat will passively act as a thermostat because radiation panels will read your temperature and set your room accordingly. At the end of the day, the robotic housekeeping staff will tidy up after you.<\/p>\n

Henn-na fulfills one Japanese finance guy<\/a>\u2019s prediction that robots and foreigners will push the nation\u2019s economy forward. This super-efficient staff is part of the hotel\u2019s proclaimed \u201cCommitment to evolution\u201d (in Japanese, \u201cHenn\u201d means \u201cchange,\u201d but also \u201cstrange\u201d), and keep the prices low. Rooms go for about $60 a night depending on availability, thanks to the reduced payroll costs. Ten actual humans are slated to work at the hotel, although management hopes that \u201crobots will eventually run 90% of the property,\u201d according to the CNN repor<\/a>t.<\/p>\n

Today, they might run 90 percent of the property. Then tomorrow, the world? Bum bum bummm\u2026<\/p>\n

Here, Keanu Reeves wakes up in a different robot hotel. You can check out, but you can never leave. <\/i><\/p>\n

Henn-na\u2019s first 72 rooms open on July 17, with 72 more to come in 2016.<\/p>\n
