>Ten new hires at Henn-na hotel, opening on 17 July in Huis Ten Bosch theme park in southern Japan, are far from your average staffers.

>Enter the lobby, and a trio of robots in the form of cyborg woman, a Nao bot, and a robotic dinosaur will greet and take you through check-in. A cloakroom robot (a giant industrial robot arm) inside a transparent glass box swivels between drawers to store away luggage; an information robot chatters away about events on at the park; and some concierge bots show you to your room.

if a robotics equivalent of "silicon valley" ever exits, I sure hope it gets called "uncanny valley".

They give then faces because otherwise you're just having sex with one of these. It's not the worst thing in the world but I could see a few people going on a psychotic break after having sex with a faceless person.
