The KUKAnizer
“automates” Facebook entries
Augsburg, July 2011 – KUKA takes
the stress out of posting for Facebook members. The Augsburg-based
robot manufacturer has developed a Facebook app – the
KUKAnizer – that generates status messages automatically. At
last, the user can concentrate once again on the important things
in life and leave posting to the friendly robot with the
all-too-human mood swings.
Ranging from “emotional” and “cranky” to
“factual” or “silly” – the KUKAnizer
(https://www.facebook.com/KUKA.Robotics)
posts status messages on your Facebook page in the desired mood. It
is currently available in German, English, Spanish, French,
Portuguese, Russian, Japanese and Chinese, with additional
languages to follow, such as Turkish, Polish and Dutch. KUKAnizer
can even cope with Bavarian dialect. With the Facebook app
“KUKANIZE your Profile”, the user can set which tasks
to entrust to the virtual robot and the intervals at which the
status messages are to be generated.

Human and machine work ever more closely together
The KUKAnizer is intended to be a bit of fun, of course, but KUKA
is also using this app to show how humans and robots are working
ever more closely together – safely – in all areas of
life. On Facebook, the robot carries out fully automatic posting;
in industry, it has suitable and safe automation solutions for
practically every sector.
