In our June 23rd edition of The Last Mile, we told you about a team of Italian Engineers who created their very own RD-D2. It chirps like the original, walks on two or three legs, and--get this--comes equipped with Bluetooth and USB. Their hope is that robots like this could someday be used in museums, hospitals, and even homes. Buon Giorno, Beep Beep!

Naturally, we wondered how such a technical wonder might be used in an IT department. Here are a few ideas:

• Projects a hologram of your boss saying, "Luke, you must install the new blade servers today--you're our only hope"

• Translates convoluted end-user problem calls into technically accurate trouble tickets
