Tokyo "Kite Hotel" launches two humanoid robots

Recently, the opening of a hotel in Tokyo has caused a lot of attention. This hotel is not high-end, the price is relatively close to the people, the reason is because this is a robot hotel.

This robotic hotel called "Peculiar Hotel" is located in the bustling business district of Tokyo. From the appearance, the "fancy hotel" is no different from the ordinary business hotel, but once you enter the hotel lobby, you will find that there is no waiter in this hotel. Only two humanoid robots, "one man and one woman", smile and greet customers. The customer only needs to follow the instructions of the equipment in front of the robot, and the check-in can be completed in two minutes. In addition to Japanese, customers can choose languages ​​such as Chinese, English and Korean. If there is any problem with the customer, the AC robot next to the humanoid robot can answer it. If the communication robot can't help, the customer can also call the staff.

"In fact, the two humanoid robots at the front desk will only smile, blink and turn their heads. Even without these two robots, the customers can still stay." The hotel staff told this reporter that the two humanoid robots were placed at the front desk. It is to reduce the "indifferent feeling" that the hotel may feel to customers.

Another reason for the concern of the “fantastic hotel” is that a medical examination clinic is also opened on the second floor of the hotel, which is registered by robot. The clinic has two dental clinics, a dermatology and internal medicine clinic. The director of the clinic, Xiong Chuanguizhao, told this reporter that in recent years, the number of allergic people in Japan has been increasing. However, most clinics in Japan only have one department in dentistry, internal medicine, and dermatology. For allergic people, only one department can not effectively identify the cause, and it is necessary to combine the various departments for analysis. “Not only the 'fancy hotel' is registered with robots like us, but more importantly, the concept of health and sleepiness proposed by the hotel coincides with the concept of the clinic.” Mori Yuji, the head of the clinic public relations, told this reporter. Say.

In fact, the “fancy hotel” is not the first robot hotel in Japan. As early as 2015, the company of "Kite Hotel" opened its first robotic hotel in the Huis Ten Bosch theme park in Nagasaki Prefecture. In the second year, this hotel was the first "employed robot to work as an employee" The hotel was included in the Guinness Book of World Records.

In recent years, the aging of young children has triggered various changes in Japanese society. An important reason for the emergence of robotic hotels is the labor shortage caused by the aging of the younger children: on the one hand, the Japanese labor force is seriously inadequate, and on the other hand, the number of foreign tourists visiting Japan is increasing. In order to better meet the accommodation needs of tourists, the robot hotel came into being.

“Employing robots” can not only attract young people as a gimmick to come to stay, but more importantly, it can save operating costs. The "fancy hotel" opened on April 27 has a total of 118 rooms. The hotel of this size generally needs 20-30 front desk staff. Now with robot staff, only 7 people can cope, and the operating cost can be reduced by up to 1/ 3.
