No face for Facebook, so·Robonaut 2·must Tweet instead.

Somebody might want to·snap up the domain Facelessbook.com just in case this goes over big...

    The news has misled the public on this one too. According to the detailed reports, a human will enter data about the robot. It is not the robot doing the tweeting.

    According to the article, the human will begin the tweets and then the robot will tweet it's status and current jobs from that point on.

    I saw this a bit ago and mentioned it on PARTS and ChiBots lists, but didn't think about this group. Sorry :(

    Granz, thanks for the info. Apparently there are different new reports. It will be interesting to see the data coming from the robot link. When you know the url details, be sure and post it here!
