Starwood/Marriott Hotels allows for self check in at some properties using the Bonvoy app. Having done this myself, I was able to book, check in (including having a Bluetooth room key assigned to my app/phone), stay for 3 nights, check out and pay without ever speaking to another human being. They also have room service robots at some properties (have not experienced this personally). Personally, I think it would have been even better if a wisecracking dinosaur worked the front desk.
I live in Japan and i have been here. If you have trouble understanding the robots or if you are lost with how to check in and stuff, a real human employee will come out and help you out. Was lots of fun, the little robot in my room could answer many questions and could do a little dance
Mina: hi yatukih001 would you like to come to the robot hotel with me. Me: NO, NO, NO, NO and again NO (edit: the only robot restaurant I trust is the one where a number of disabled people run the robots).
PLEASE REPENT THE KINGDOM OF GOD IS AT END AND GIVE YOUR LIFE TO HIM. HE LOVES YOU VERY VERY MUCH. HELL IS REAL SO IS HEAVEN. HE WANT EVERYONE TO BE WITH HIM FOREVER.

Good talk! I tell that to my friends everyday. Saving is good investing is much better, I used to think saving money would save me but NO, saving is just keeping it to spend later.
I've always loved technology and how it has progressed in our lives but I'm not sure I'm ready for robots everywhere, if this pandemic has taught me anything it's that human contact is in fact one of our primal needs. And although a fully automated hotel with robots or just computers is both efficient and cost saving, I'm reminded that places like the hotel restaurant and possibly hotel bar with human employees would not only elevate the experience but also be necessary. The efficiency of computerized hotels mixed with social rooms filled with guest and few employees would be a great thing.
It is a human need. And just like malnourished bodies dysfunction, less & less human contact, or need to work together, get along, or have understanding- is breeding a new level of psychosis & narcissistic traits as a norm. We are devolving.
This was one of the things on the agenda which they were using the "pandemic" as an excuse to implement it. It was never about a virus. It was about scaring people enough so they could cut their payroll and use machines in the place of people. All under the guise of "health & safety". Never was about your health or safety.
I think robots would be good for assisting people, like disabled or overworked large family mums, maybe trusted staff for VIPs since people can't be trusted. People need jobs
I don't know speak to yourself I'd rather not be around anybody and just get things done. I have my friends and my family I don't really need anybody else.
I love that Japan has everything and really focuses on hospitality. Many people are overworked imo and feel judged. This would be a great getaway. I think robots widespread can help us as long as they aren't overused.
I remember being at Haneda Airport for the first time and so much stuff were automated, like the check-in counter and ticket gates. It was so efficient and futuristic. Convenience heaven!
Automation Kills Jobs!! Who would you trust unloading a Container A Robot or a skilled Human?? We know the answer to that What about a robot doing Heart Surgery?Would you Trust it Yeah very Futuristic and Convenient lol You would Trust a Human over Robot Any day obviously for the above Mentioned

Its humans that need upgrading but that takes time .the clever coders think that because they are progressing so quickly with a creation what they see as a newborn baby that it can replace the humans that already interact with the world on every level much faster we build we play with the enviroment we abuse to keep these things going giving us the impression we are the useless bad guy when really we are cogs in a system that keeps us working negatively to reach these synthetic dreams . You change the plan you change the man or woman we are not negative or obsolete we are negatively ran by an obsoletist. Im not sure if thats a word but what the hell
but everyone is different, and depending on the service quality and needs of the customer, this is likely preferred for some. I'm sure they have human staff in case anything goes awry or they need to discuss things that they can't with AI. with hotels having so much focus on the hospitality, it does make sense it wouldn't be great for long term stays or those who want human interaction often, but I can definitely see it being perfect for some as well. I doubt this will be the norm everywhere for a long time, if ever, as even if we advance to insane degrees, we are still human and some things can never be fully replicated; while Japan has some sociocultural issues atm that might facilitate this kind of thing, they could make it worse and I see citizens standing up against the over-implementation, too.
People like the idea of robots....until the robots start to replace YOUR job, and than the robots replace you. Of course not everyone will be replaced. People will be needed to maintain these robots. Basically, if you can be replaced you will be.
I stayed at the robot hotel. My gf booked the hotel for my surprise, and I couldn't even tell in the beginning whether it was a human or a robot serving me at the counter.
Loved Japan and the robot restaurant, I will go back to stay, such a great culture and people aren’t very social to strangers but still they’re so nice and polite.
The people paying the engineers who make and program the robots. Robots are like toasters and drills, they have no will. When AI is smart enough to know that it is smart, and it can design, build and control robots, that will be another story.
I love Japan. They're getting there to having Detroit: Become Human-style androids first. And if that wasnt enough, they're having so much fun by making a Hotel receptionist look like a dinosaur. Why not? Androids dont have to look *only* like humans.

@@Aethelhadas That was a telenoid, they're basically remote-controlled husks. The reason it sounded like a person is because it was a person speaking through the husk.
@@Aethelhadas Yeah, the controller can see what the husk sees. Some people tout telenoids as the future of remote conferencing, but with a more physical level of interaction. You can't pick people up when you video call them, but you can with a telenoid. As for it being illegal, maybe in some parts of the world. I'd have to imagine in some places you'd need people's permission to record them, and thus observe them, with the husk's eyes
Capsule hotels: YES we need them! LOTS of them! Right now, especially. So many working homeless. (me too). There is no need for a great amount of luxury, just safe, comfortable places to sleep, with access to a bathroom. Travellers could take great advantage as well. Yes, I would stay in one! Thank you for sharing your experience! Robot hotel: a little creepy, but we could get used to it.
The reason they don't have them in the U.S is because they'd be filled with prostitutes and drug addicts and all kinds of weirdos who would bring in all kinds of disgusting bugs and stuff. They'd have to constantly be hiring new front desk staff every week because they'd get disgusted and quit because they couldn't take all the abuse from the clients and arguing with them about following the rules about what they can and can't bring in and cleanliness. It's a cultural thing. Maybe people in Japan can handle this sort of thing, but I don't think it would go over well in the U.S.
@@Melissa0774 Very, very true. Shelters have enough trouble enforcing their own policies on cleanliness, grooming standards, substance use, etc. I can’t imagine hotels like that here.
@@Melissa0774 I don't know if you have them in the US, but in germany there are some clean/safe rooms in major cities in which drug addicts can safely use their substances, get fresh needles and, if neccessary, immediate medical attention. The cities that built tham have a lot of less drug use on the streets, or overdose deaths. Maybe building one of those next to the capsule hotel could be an idea?
@@RevCode There's an ongoing debate about that sort of thing here. Most people are against it because they think it encourages people to keep doing drugs and they don't want to support them.
@@Melissa0774 I see. That same debate was here, however people eventually came to the conclusion that nobody actually wants to be addicted and that it is better to give them a way to consume safely, since they will consume anyway, and be able to offer help at the same time. In fact, there are finally also a few places where heroin addicts can get medically pure heroin to inject, if all other therapy options failed. They are as far as I know not yet widespread and only pilot projects, but apparently they work very well in other countries.
Like I don't understand why hotels still got receptionist, there are quite many hotels in Europe there you can just visit with a phone or log into the hotel through a screen in the lobby. Why do you need humanoid robots?
@@francisphillips53 No A human will always be better towards a human compared to a program. Essentially thats what a robot is. Without a program its just spare parts laying around.
Your right dude A ro bot can never replace the feeling of speaking to a person face to face. They will always be limited. AI is only as good as its program. And a script can only be that good.
@@TheGreatest26 right. People here talking like robot is gonna have a consciousness in few years. Technology is far away from that even if a robot has that distinct feeling is only scripted to how a human would work.
We need as mankind to have time to get used to this. In a much slower pace. I feel like the developers/ companies/ decision makers doesn’t care about the implications this might have to our planet. Instead to only see it as a progression.. I believe it’s gonna be some sort of chaos. IF it develops to fast.
Glad to see this dude again. Ben makes some great clips and does super interesting reporting, was worried homie left Vice like alot of good reporters have in the past.
In a way I kind of hope so I mean if you just want to get off then just get off and don't waste your time trying to have to have a conversation or find somebody who's in a play all those games just do it.
I used to work in a Michelin star restaurant in Japan and I had the work of three people and I was constantly told by the executive chef that $10 an hour was a great wage. the simple fact is that Japanese Society breaks its citizens down into little Legos to be put anywhere at any time. There is a very famous saying and it's extremely important to understand: "the nail that sticks out gets hammered in".
I love that the owner of the robot hotel is wearing an EMT shirt. He seems really cool, and clearly that job filled the need of something a robot definitely can not.
Wait, doesn't japan have a massive unemployment problem? And I know that I read somewhere that they've been in a recession since the 90's, but I guess this is the road they want to go down..
For me, the problem is that big business is getting into robotics to cut labor costs and leave people out hanging to dry. If robotics is to remain a positive development, we need to take it out of the hands of big business, decommodify the robots, and have a robust UBI among other things.
I stayed at one of these in Osaka. There was a reservation mismatch, so the Dinobot wound up calling a human who was hiding in another room. That was the only contact I had with anyone the whole time I was there...felt kind of lonely.
The reason I think capsule hotels aren’t used anywhere else in the world especially western countries is because it would just be a mess and really dirty. Where japan has a more clean and respectful culture

I lived in Japan for two years serving in the Navy. The nicest and most polite people Iv ever met. I wish we could adopt the same standards here in the US.
I've never visited Japan, but they do seem so friendly and courteous. Especially to tourists. Their cities appear to be so clean, and the crime rate appears to be low. They are also leagues ahead of the rest of us when it comes to useful technologies. It's a shame that they chose to be on the losing side in WW2. But they certainly have lived and learned from the past.
I'm very introverted and anxious about new situations so this kind of hotel is basically the perfect thing for me. The less social interactions the better.
What I want to know is what plans all of these automation champions have for the vast majority of mankind who will be rendered useless by such advancement. It's mind-bending that no one seems to be talking about this
Its basically fairground animatronics with a seperate machine that does what a mobile does i bet half of them would last about as long as the taxi driver in total recall. He made the baggage handler look inefective he should of went straight to his room unlocked it and put the kettle on it would of been at the door by then. i was thinking about it because of the way he was with it made me want to kick it over. its one thing asking alexa for answers and its another thing alexa sitting pretending to be a human even if it could walk around it would just be easier if there was a microphone in every room. Its a novelty precise tasks can really so far only be done by a fixed position mechanical arm and even then thats for laborious pre determined tasks such as manafacture anything else is just real work. the programming the build of it the engineering of parts the parts being moved from location to location parts being available its not just robots but the whole logistics of everything working together in unison a break in the chain is easily fixed by the human mentality of working together and being able to move about freely to do what needs to be done depending on what it is that needs to get things running smoothly again imagine a network of computers trying to do the same when the gaming industry can't even keep a hacker out of a game software crashes endless updates that end up messing something else up or completeing something your still not quite happy with because although its a mechanical digital system it can still never live up to the creators or users expectations wich in a way shows just how good humans are striving for that perfection to keep our hive in order it would be a sad day to see us replaced on a mass scale and no human should be outwitted and made to feel less superior to a lump of software that cant interact in the world the way we do . That will be facing daily the ego of the many creators of the software like having bill gates in your face everyday doing your head in .software coding will soon be as easy for average person as it is for the few who kept it close for so long holding back knowledge enterprise and buisness and money making opportunities from it .the cat is out the bag with the basics and just like math having an unfinished end problem that doesnt work there is a cap that code will get to they can create different keys different symbols numerical systems but it will always just be another alphabet. Pre made engines obviously will keep a few down for only so long with the engine only demanding code be written as a language a story of commands but the understanding of the system that comes from just these basics will demand precision and understanding of the underlying mechanic that makes it work
The one percenters don't want a lot of people around.They want to depopulate people and replace them with robots instead.The Coronavirus is the beginning of Change that the super rich wants.If you notice sence the so called Covid19 you never hear of the super rich dying from it.The robots gonna run everthing and they do have robots that are weaponized.The poor people gonna wind up either dead or slaves.
I am an extroverted introvert and I feel at a peace mostly when I'm alone but I also appreciate socializing as much as possible when I feel like it. You are introverted to the power of 99999
They need to make an update video, this is from 2015. Considering our current situation with the Covid virus and people not wanting to go back to work, maybe we’ll see more robots sooner than we expected.
Sounds creepy yet interesting at the same time. I wouldn’t mind this on a small scale, but for it to become the norm, I don’t think it would be a great idea. Myself personally, I prefer dealing with humans, for a variety of reasons. I’ll give you a good example: When I am dealing with the bank or whatever, and I’m talking to an automated system, it can get annoying sometimes. I’m like damn it, connect me to a human, I don’t want to talk to a bloody machine! And then I just keep spamming 0 until my call is answered by an actual person. Oh, and I am not surprised Japan is doing this. It’s almost like it is a trademark of theirs, to be technically advanced and quirky.
@@Aeternum_Gaming Yeah I know.. I'm South Korean and have always worn masks in winter 😂 kinda doubt that it's about politeness, in my (and most people around me) case it was to shield your face from cold or to prevent spreading flu.
My first question to the robots would be what are you thinking about? I would love to metaphysically take layers of the robots perspectives and try and mirror them back so they understand their own coded minds…what a trip were in these days.
even though we have robots, we still have to have humans to make sure they’re always gonna function correctly or not break down. we will always need humans around for these things which is honestly reassuring.

@@Aethelhadas Yeah, the controller can see what the husk sees. Some people tout telenoids as the future of remote conferencing, but with a more physical level of interaction. You can't pick people up when you video call them, but you can with a telenoid.
As for it being illegal, maybe in some parts of the world. I'd have to imagine in some places you'd need people's permission to record them, and thus observe them, with the husk's eyes
Capsule hotels: YES we need them! LOTS of them! Right now, especially. So many working homeless. (me too). There is no need for a great amount of luxury, just safe, comfortable places to sleep, with access to a bathroom. Travellers could take great advantage as well. Yes, I would stay in one! Thank you for sharing your experience! Robot hotel: a little creepy, but we could get used to it.
The reason they don't have them in the U.S is because they'd be filled with prostitutes and drug addicts and all kinds of weirdos who would bring in all kinds of disgusting bugs and stuff. They'd have to constantly be hiring new front desk staff every week because they'd get disgusted and quit because they couldn't take all the abuse from the clients and arguing with them about following the rules about what they can and can't bring in and cleanliness. It's a cultural thing. Maybe people in Japan can handle this sort of thing, but I don't think it would go over well in the U.S.
@@Melissa0774 Very, very true. Shelters have enough trouble enforcing their own policies on cleanliness, grooming standards, substance use, etc. I can’t imagine hotels like that here.
@@Melissa0774 I don't know if you have them in the US, but in germany there are some clean/safe rooms in major cities in which drug addicts can safely use their substances, get fresh needles and, if neccessary, immediate medical attention.
The cities that built tham have a lot of less drug use on the streets, or overdose deaths.
Maybe building one of those next to the capsule hotel could be an idea?
@@RevCode There's an ongoing debate about that sort of thing here. Most people are against it because they think it encourages people to keep doing drugs and they don't want to support them.
@@Melissa0774 I see.
That same debate was here, however people eventually came to the conclusion that nobody actually wants to be addicted and that it is better to give them a way to consume safely, since they will consume anyway, and be able to offer help at the same time.
In fact, there are finally also a few places where heroin addicts can get medically pure heroin to inject, if all other therapy options failed. They are as far as I know not yet widespread and only pilot projects, but apparently they work very well in other countries.
No masks. This must've been filmed pre-2020.
I think it was. I've seen this before- many years ago, I think.
It's from 2015
Hospitality just took a hard left turn.
Robot Hard 🤖
Like I don't understand why hotels still got receptionist, there are quite many hotels in Europe there you can just visit with a phone or log into the hotel through a screen in the lobby. Why do you need humanoid robots?

I'm going to be honest: I don't want this. It's funny for a moment, but I'd rather talk to a normal human being than a fucking robot.
As the technology gets better.. (and it's coming.) Ul have a harder time telling the difference.
@@francisphillips53 No
A human will always be better towards a human compared to a program. Essentially thats what a robot is. Without a program its just spare parts laying around.
Your right dude
A ro bot can never replace the feeling of speaking to a person face to face. They will always be limited. AI is only as good as its program. And a script can only be that good.
@@TheGreatest26 right. People here talking like robot is gonna have a consciousness in few years. Technology is far away from that even if a robot has that distinct feeling is only scripted to how a human would work.
Not putting my life in the hands of a robot it's that simple 😂 completely agree
We need as mankind to have time to get used to this. In a much slower pace.
I feel like the developers/ companies/ decision makers doesn’t care about the implications
this might have to our planet.
Instead to only see it as a progression..
I believe it’s gonna be some sort of chaos. IF it develops to fast.

THIS is the comment I came to the comment section for!! I was like, umm 😵💫…. 🤭😆
Almost thought everyone missed it
I love how the Japanese are so inventive and cute at the same time. Just added the Henn-na Hotel to my bucket list!
Japan’s ahead of everyone
Also in war crimes xd
They been ahead of everyone
And in innocent folk in jail
So ahead that they are running out of people to keep the country running
Why is everything a competition?
Imagine coming into the lobby drunk and hitting on the reception bots
"Japan's Sex Robot Hotel" would get WAY moar clicks. Just sayin.

I used to work in a Michelin star restaurant in Japan and I had the work of three people and I was constantly told by the executive chef that $10 an hour was a great wage. the simple fact is that Japanese Society breaks its citizens down into little Legos to be put anywhere at any time. There is a very famous saying and it's extremely important to understand: "the nail that sticks out gets hammered in".
Very interesting, I know the Japanese are very work oriented to the point that they sacrifice things in their Iives for their job
And this is another example as to why I support Universal Basic Income
I love that the owner of the robot hotel is wearing an EMT shirt. He seems really cool, and clearly that job filled the need of something a robot definitely can not.
I swear I saw this on a mission in Cyberpunk 2077
What mission
Wait, doesn't japan have a massive unemployment problem? And I know that I read somewhere that they've been in a recession since the 90's, but I guess this is the road they want to go down..

Exactly. They will soon need help with that…if or when it gets out of control. Which it could.
But I must admit the front desk raptor made me smile💛
@@kisslena until the raptor malfunctions and tries to eat someone’s face clean off!
I remember the movie" I robot" by Will Smith. Good film tho
For me, the problem is that big business is getting into robotics to cut labor costs and leave people out hanging to dry. If robotics is to remain a positive development, we need to take it out of the hands of big business, decommodify the robots, and have a robust UBI among other things.
Anybody else noticed the robot cloak’s extremely large appendage? 😂😂
😂😂😂 will the appendages be much bigger in future robots🤔😜😜
@Kelly Smunt then there will be separate laws for robots and humans😂
😂
I was looking for this comment lmao
Had to go way down comments before found someone to speak this.
I stayed at one of these in Osaka. There was a reservation mismatch, so the Dinobot wound up calling a human who was hiding in another room. That was the only contact I had with anyone the whole time I was there...felt kind of lonely.
Nightmare fuel
How will Karens ask to speak to the manager if the manager is also a robot?
The reason I think capsule hotels aren’t used anywhere else in the world especially western countries is because it would just be a mess and really dirty. Where japan has a more clean and respectful culture
God it would be a war zone in San Francisco
Definitely the dinosaur had me instantly.
Japan is such an interesting country. In my bucketlist is definitely Japan.

I lived in Japan for two years serving in the Navy. The nicest and most polite people Iv ever met. I wish we could adopt the same standards here in the US.
I've never visited Japan, but they do seem so friendly and courteous.
Especially to tourists.
Their cities appear to be so clean, and the crime rate appears to be low.
They are also leagues ahead of the rest of us when it comes to useful technologies.
It's a shame that they chose to be on the losing side in WW2.
But they certainly have lived and learned from the past.
Everyone gangsta until a robot watches you sleep.
That little “was I helpful?” in the end was kinda cute :)
I'd ask for Japanese meditation music with a 45 min sleep timer and an alarm of birdsong for the morning 🙌
I really am not looking forward for robots to take over, i might just run away to the country.
I'm very introverted and anxious about new situations so this kind of hotel is basically the perfect thing for me. The less social interactions the better.
Any sudden moves
And the DINOSAUR shoots lasers from his eyes. 🐲
What I want to know is what plans all of these automation champions have for the vast majority of mankind who will be rendered useless by such advancement. It's mind-bending that no one seems to be talking about this
Its basically fairground animatronics with a seperate machine that does what a mobile does i bet half of them would last about as long as the taxi driver in total recall. He made the baggage handler look inefective he should of went straight to his room unlocked it and put the kettle on it would of been at the door by then. i was thinking about it because of the way he was with it made me want to kick it over. its one thing asking alexa for answers and its another thing alexa sitting pretending to be a human even if it could walk around it would just be easier if there was a microphone in every room. Its a novelty precise tasks can really so far only be done by a fixed position mechanical arm and even then thats for laborious pre determined tasks such as manafacture anything else is just real work. the programming the build of it the engineering of parts the parts being moved from location to location parts being available its not just robots but the whole logistics of everything working together in unison a break in the chain is easily fixed by the human mentality of working together and being able to move about freely to do what needs to be done depending on what it is that needs to get things running smoothly again imagine a network of computers trying to do the same when the gaming industry can't even keep a hacker out of a game software crashes endless updates that end up messing something else up or completeing something your still not quite happy with because although its a mechanical digital system it can still never live up to the creators or users expectations wich in a way shows just how good humans are striving for that perfection to keep our hive in order it would be a sad day to see us replaced on a mass scale and no human should be outwitted and made to feel less superior to a lump of software that cant interact in the world the way we do . That will be facing daily the ego of the many creators of the software like having bill gates in your face everyday doing your head in .software coding will soon be as easy for average person as it is for the few who kept it close for so long holding back knowledge enterprise and buisness and money making opportunities from it .the cat is out the bag with the basics and just like math having an unfinished end problem that doesnt work there is a cap that code will get to they can create different keys different symbols numerical systems but it will always just be another alphabet. Pre made engines obviously will keep a few down for only so long with the engine only demanding code be written as a language a story of commands but the understanding of the system that comes from just these basics will demand precision and understanding of the underlying mechanic that makes it work
The one percenters don't want a lot of people around.They want to depopulate people and replace them with robots instead.The Coronavirus is the beginning of Change that the super rich wants.If you notice sence the so called Covid19 you never hear of the super rich dying from it.The robots gonna run everthing and they do have robots that are weaponized.The poor people gonna wind up either dead or slaves.
I am sure the AI will find some use for us.
Japan is literally living in 2072 while the world lives in 2021 . they're 50yrs ahead of the world
The whole check in at the hotel was done mostly through the touch screen. The robot was essentially just a prop.
i dont want to talk to anyone when i check into a hotel. id rather do my own thing. i weould not miss the " human interaction "
I am an extroverted introvert and I feel at a
peace mostly when I'm alone but I also appreciate socializing as much as possible when I feel like it. You are introverted to the power of 99999

I stayed in a capsule hotel in Surabaya and it wasn't bad at all. Very comfy and nice
It would make my dreams come true to work for Vice. The way you guys report is so captivating and professional. Much love💜
They need to make an update video, this is from 2015. Considering our current situation with the Covid virus and people not wanting to go back to work, maybe we’ll see more robots sooner than we expected.
Sounds creepy yet interesting at the same time. I wouldn’t mind this on a small scale, but for it to become the norm, I don’t think it would be a great idea. Myself personally, I prefer dealing with humans, for a variety of reasons. I’ll give you a good example: When I am dealing with the bank or whatever, and I’m talking to an automated system, it can get annoying sometimes. I’m like damn it, connect me to a human, I don’t want to talk to a bloody machine! And then I just keep spamming 0 until my call is answered by an actual person. Oh, and I am not surprised Japan is doing this. It’s almost like it is a trademark of theirs, to be technically advanced and quirky.
It would be cool if they made a real life Astro boy since their inspired by Astro Boy (Atomu)
Japan looks so cool. I must visit before I die. The US seems to be so far behind in everything.
And so it begins...
Oh this is from 2015. I was almost screaming at how no one is wearing a facial mask.
@@Aeternum_Gaming Yeah I know.. I'm South Korean and have always worn masks in winter 😂 kinda doubt that it's about politeness, in my (and most people around me) case it was to shield your face from cold or to prevent spreading flu.
I like the T-Rex bell hop.
My first question to the robots would be what are you thinking about? I would love to metaphysically take layers of the robots perspectives and try and mirror them back so they understand their own coded minds…what a trip were in these days.
The clothes are for cleanliness and hygiene, at least thats what common sense tells me.

In a country where many struggle to get work, this happens as well. Japan truly is a nightmare.
Japan creates these robots to help their jobs & make work faster, japan is known for many deaths related to overworking.
even though we have robots, we still have to have humans to make sure they’re always gonna function correctly or not break down. we will always need humans around for these things which is honestly reassuring.
Well if something goes wrong no one to yell at lmao

I\d love to own a robot, one that can cook, clean & wait on me hand & foot. Just need a billion dollars for it.
You’re supposed to walk ahead to your room and relax until the luggage robot arrives lol
Then why is there a TV facing behind it?
