A theme park in Japan is set to introduce 200 robots as members of staff - a move that bosses claim is just the beginning of a technological revolution in the country's service industry.

Amusement park Huis Ten Bosch will open the "robot kingdom" area of the attraction in July.

Hideo Sawada, president of the park's operator, said: "Robots will arrive in this kingdom one after another, and the time will come when these technologies will be in use worldwide."

The robots will include a chef that can cook different meals on demand.

Robots will also patrol the area of restaurants and bars, serving drinks and food and even cleaning up when visitors leave a table.

A ticket to visit Huis Ten Bosch for the day costs 6,500 yen, which is £40.

Companies such as Yaskawa Electric, Denso and Sharp will be manufacturing the new high-tech staff.
