Protocol Droid

C3PO has competition:

Only last year, Honda Motor Co.'s now-familiar humanoid robot, Asimo, was learning how to run and avoid tripping over obstacles. Now, the five-year-old droid is ready to take on simple office work, greeting visitors and fetching refreshments.

Demonstrating its latest tricks through video footage, Honda showed the 130 cm-tall (4.25 feet) Asimo addressing a mock visitor by name and showing her to a conference room, all the while maintaining a steady and natural distance from the guest.

With that skill set, it's already more capable than most 18-year old receptionists. But it doesn't have big tits, so it probably won't be hired.

No robot boobs, easily remedied, they just have to partner up with these freaks and everything will be ok.
