The billionaire founder of Facebook
has revealed plans to build a domestic robot capable of babysitting his infant
daughter. Mark Zuckerberg wants to build a "simple artificial intelligence
to run my home" by the end of the year.
He announced this ambitious scheme
in his annual New Year's Resolution Facebook post. Zuck said his "personal
challenge" for the year would be to design a robot which can perform basic
childcare and other tasks around the house.
"I'll start teaching it to
understand my voice to control everything in our home - music, lights,
temperature and so on. I'll teach it to let friends in by looking at their
faces when they ring the doorbell. I'll teach it to let me know if anything is
going on in Max's room that I need to check on when I'm not with her," he
wrote.
