A robot is being given its own Facebook profile page in a bid to bridge the divide between humans and robots.With the development, researchers are hoping to foster meaningful relationships with people.The robot has three software modules that aid it human interaction. One module distinguishes faces of humans and the pictures they post on Facebook. A language module allows the machine to have real-time discussions and helps it continue a catalog of its friends and their data on Facebook. This allows it to maintain its own Facebook profile. It also has a supplementary range finder, touch screen and stereo camera.
