Japan Robot Receptionist

From the receptionist that does the check-in and check-out to the porter that's an automated trolley taking luggage up to the room, this hotel in southwestern Japan, aptly called Weird Hotel, is "manned" almost totally by robots to save labor costs.

She can smile, she can sing and this robot receptionist who started work in Tokyo today never gets bored of welcoming customers to her upmarket shop.
