Japanese Theme Park Opening Kingdom Run By Robots

A theme park in Japan is preparing to open a "Kingdom of the Robot" land run by more than 200 androids who will cook, bartend, serve and bus tables for visitors.

The park is Huis Ten Bosch in Nagasaki, and its robot realm will open in July, Hideo Sawada, president of the theme park's operating company, told the Nikkei Asian Times.

You may have already heard about the robot hotel inside the theme park, where animatronic women and T. rex dinosaurs help guests check in for their stays and even carry luggage, along with human backup.

The forthcoming robot kingdom is intended to cut costs and serve as a testing ground for new robot technology, the Nikkei Asian Review says.

"Robots will arrive in this kingdom one after another, and the time will come when those technologies will be in use worldwide," Sawada said. Whoa.
