Robot hotel opens at Japanese theme park (video)
Japan's first robot hotel is now at your service!
The Henn-na Hotel can be found at Huis Ten Bosch, a bizarre theme park based on a Dutch town in Nagasaki.
Robots working at the hotel will be helping to check guests in, carry bags to rooms and operate locker rooms.

The Henn-na Hotel translates as the 'Weird Hotel' which isn't surprising given the slightly unsettling dinosaur robots that might be carrying your luggage. As you can see in the footage, the hotel is also home to a number of very life-like 'human' robots too.
Henn-na is the brainchaild of HIS CEO Hideo Sawada. He said: "Of course these robots can't just replace all human labour but in terms of being friendly and polite, they're unbeatable."
Hideo asked developers to make robots for his new hotel, which opens on Friday, and other technological innovations in the hotel include facial recognition that allows guests to access their rooms without a hotel key.
Electricity in the hotel will also be partly powered by solar energy, which is hoped will help keep costs low.
Hideo said that the concept is aimed at travellers on a budget and he thinks low-cost hotels will become a trend similar to low cost airlines.
Spending a night at the 'Weird Hotel' will set you back 7,000 yen which is around £35 per night.
However, during peak seasons the rooms will be auctioned to the highest bidder.
