Japanese hotel staffed by ROBOTS forced to fire over half of its mechanical workers after complaints

Japan's infamous robot hotel, where gets are met by a dino-bot and room service bots roam the halls, has fired over half of its robot workforce, it has been claimed. The first Henn na Hotel opened in Nagasaki in 2015, and was certified the following year by Guinness World Records as the world's first hotel with robots on its staff. 'It's easier now that we're not being frequently called by guests to help with problems with the robots,' one staff member who has worked at the hotel for three years told the WSJ. Robots are no strangers to the Japanese, but the sight of a motion-sensing dinosaur (pictured) greeting you at the reception of a hotel is likely to startle even the most ardent automaton aficionado. It might be about the weirdest check-in experience possible, but that's exactly the point at the Henn na chain - whose name means'weird' The robot assistant in each room named'Churi' was one of the first to be fired, after guest discovered it was unable to answer basic questions.
