Let a robot receptionist greet your guests
Robots are starting to move into the white collar world. No longer content to work serving drinks or helping kids cross streets, robots are now entering the office as receptionists. Japanese employment agency PeopleStaff has begun offering robotic receptionists to its clients; for $430 a month, you can get a robot Hello Kitty or Ifbot (pictured) to sit at your front desk and greet visitors. We're not quite sure what kind of company would actually want to hire Hello Kitty as a receptionist, but that's almost beside the point. What we really want to know is this: what do you do when your recepto-bot starts bursting into impromptu renditions of "Daisy?"
