Henn na Hotel fires half of their robotic employees

  • Henn Na Hotel robotic staff
Many robots needed constant help from humans
 

Like something from a science fiction novel, the Henn na Hotel in southern Japan has been staffed mostly by robots since 2015. Proof of robots taking over the world? Well, no - these hotel robots failed at basic tasks like answering questions from customers and malfunctioned in rainy weather. The hotel has now fired over half their robotic employees and replaced them with human staff.
