*무인호텔, 스마트호텔을 지향합니다 japanese hotel serviced by robots aims to realize an entirely new low cost initiative

스마트 호텔을 지향하는 '이상한 호텔' 실험이 시작됩니다. 안락한 숙박은 물론 세계적인 서비스 제공을 목표로 전자동화된 무인시스템 구축을 목표로 합니다. 이를 위해 프론트 데스크를 시작으로 각종 서비스가 로봇 및 스마트 제어시스템을 통해 제공됩니다. 현대적이며 모던한 인테리어 디자인과 스마트 제어시스템이 탑재된 각 객실은 별도의 키 필요없이 투숙객의 얼굴인식으로 자동제어 됩니다. 사용자에 따라 테이블에 놓여진 테블릿으로 개별 제어 또한 가능합니다.

경제적인 운영뿐만 아니라 지속가능한 공간 구현, 건축의 지향점에 한발자국 다가서는 결과를 기대해 봅니다.
