International Robotics welcomes multilingual Millennia robot

We'll be straight: Millennia certainly isn't the easiest robot on the eyes, but apparently it can hold a conversation like no other. According to its maker, International Robotics, this adult-sized, multilingual creation can "communicate with any age, social, ethnic or cultural group in any type of environment." As if those bold claims weren't enough, the WiFi-equipped bot can also "act as an effective PR, marketing, advertising, promotional, educational or entertainment tool," and it can be remotely controlled in case you just don't trust it to shoot from the hip. No word on pricing just yet, but we'd imagine this fellow could practically sell itself.

Damn, it's BIG. I can easily imagine it picking the woman up and choking her while staring with those huge, emotionless blue eyes...

Is it just my dirty thoughts or is this robot touching the lady's breast and smiling while doing so? Hmm...international gesture of friendship maybe?

That settles it. I know what I'm going to be dressing as for Halloween. Robots can get away with anything.

Womens: "Oh GynoBot, you rock my world!"
Me: "Ohhhh yeah"

I wonder if they will start renting these out as receptionists like the Wakamu robots?

Yes - you can rent them - it's not all that cheap - but well worth it - we rented one for a expo in germany.... it was an older model - but well worth it - brings in alot of attention to your company.....

Yes, obviously a much needed protocol droid.
