Mark Zuckerberg, the founder and CEO of Facebook Inc (NASDAQ:FB), is almost ready to show his “robot butler” to the world.
The Facebook CEO said that he would be ready to demo his robot butler next month. Zuckerberg made this announcement while at a Q&A session in Italy on Monday. He told reporters that he’s reached the point that the virtual assistant controls the lights, gate and thermostat in his home.
Mark Zuckerberg joked with reporters when he told them that his wife wasn’t happy with the robot butler. It only responds to his voice, which means she can’t control the temperature in the house. He told reporters that this was one of the perks of being an engineer, reports PC Magazine.
Mark Zuckerberg first announced his robot butler plans back in early 2016. The decision to create an AI that could manage his home was his resolution for the new year. He said that it would be like having his own Jarvis from Iron Man.
When Mark Zuckerberg announced his AI plans, he had a list of things he wanted it to be able to do. This list includes controlling music, lights and the temperature in his home. He also wants it to be able to let friends in after recognizing their faces. The Facebook CEO also said it would help him visualize data for his virtual reality efforts.
Mark Zuckerberg announced back in June that his robot butler is able to make toast for him when he wakes up in the morning.
