The owner of Athena the humanoid robot had to pay for her to
have a seat on a Lufthansa flight between LA and Frankfurt.
There are so many types of people that you wouldn't want to
be sitting next to on a nine-hour flight.
There’s the overweight space-hogger, the snorer, the toilet
addict and of course, the screaming child.
In fact, you’re not even guaranteed to have an enjoyable
flight if you’re sitting next to the pilot.
But what if your plane neighbour was… robot? Oh yes.
The world’s first ever robot passenger took to the skies
earlier today, boarding a Lufthansa flight from Los Angeles to Frankfurt.
“Athena” (for that is her name), is a full-sized humanoid
and was sporting a fetching pair of red baseball boots along with a white
T-shirt.
She didn't seem to be wearing any trousers though, which
we’re pretty sure would prevent any of us from being allowed on a plane.
Don't be mistaken for thinking that Athena will be living a
charmed, jet-setting life though.
