Japanese hotel chain relieve massive robots

Bizarre A Japanese hotel chain performs a remarkable layoff by more than half of the 243 robots must go. In 2015, launched Henn-na Hotel claimed at the opening that robots are the work of people could take over. Now, four years later, it appears that the robots are just for more, than less human labour concerns.

Henn-na Hotel literally sounds ‘strange hotel’. The hotel chain pulled the Guinnes Made because of the very first hotels with robots as employees. The first branch opened in Nagasaki in the doors. Meanwhile, there are eight offices around Japan. Each hotel has around eighty robots in service.

The robots can be made quickly for problems. A guest who snored, was in his room was awakened by the smart robotassistent. This interpreted the rumble as a question. At the from sleep, extracted a guest, there was even more annoyance, because the robot, the question but repeat it. It led to angry phone calls to the few human employees of Henn-na. That should also intervene when wide bagagerobots to get stuck in the corridors. Also the check-in of guests was often not very smooth.

The management of Henn-na recognizes that the use of robots is sometimes more of a burden than a help. Not all robots will be replaced. The dinosaurs of the hotel guests welcome to stay preserved. Also, all of the human employees remain on board.
