Ubix of Japan has developed a new robot which is known as Ubiko. It's inventors have a pretty lofty target for the Ubiko - it is meant to replace humans for various grunt tasks such as welcomnig clients and promoting products on site amongst others. Ubiko can be controlled by voice despite being an autonomous robot, but further work must be done to improve on the rather annoying synthesized voice before it can replace a busty blonde with a million dollar smile. Those who are in the customer service front line, rest easy as the Ubiko is far from taking over your place since it comes with a 350 Euro per hour rental.
