Honda is working on robotic technology to make a non-human office worker. The robot is named ASIMO. The thing does some neat things, but for the cost of it, is it really practical and efficient or a novelty? It certainly is generating some PR for Honda, but do you really want to be greated by a robot over even an ugly receptionist who will smile and figure out if you need anything?
The robot will escort you to a location based on information it reads from a card supplied to you, fetch drinks and carry a tray, push a cart in all four directions, run at speeds over three miles an hour and keep your wife happy if she wants to talk (I just made up that last one). You can see video and pictures over on the Honda Site.
