Japanese Hotel Apologizes for Robots That Allowed Video and Sound to Be Hacked
A Japanese hotel chain, HIS Group, has apologized for ignoring warnings that its in-room robots were hackable and enabled individuals to remotely view video footage from the devices.
The Henn na Hotel is staffed by robots, says a news report; guests can be checked in by humanoid or dinosaur reception bots before proceeding to their room and facial recognition technology lets customers into their room, and then a bedside robot assists with other requirements.
