This possibility is a reality at Japan's new completely robot-run Henn-na Hotel (which roughly translates to 'Strange Hotel') in Nagasaki. Upon entering the hotel, guests are greeted by three "friendly" robots at the front desk. Guests are encouraged to "enjoy conversations with robots with a humanly kind of warmth, while they work efficiently".After checking in, one of two "porter robots" will help transport guests' bags to their room.
