Facebook gets into the robot game — and data centers could be involved
Facebook, that company with a globally popular social network and data centers to run it all reliably, is apparently interested in “industrial automation and robotics.”
The company has been searching for a person to work as an electrical engineer focused on robotics at its Menlo Park, Calif., headquarters, according to an undated job posting. Facebook has been seeking someone for this sort of role since August, if not earlier.
“This person will be responsible for designing electrical system[s] and circuitry for Industrial Automation and Robotics development,” the job posting states. The successful applicant will join Facebook’s Strategic Engineering and Development team.
The results of the person’s efforts could be deployed inside the massive server farms Facebook counts on to store and serve up user information.

The robots go after the IT hardware employee jobs....Robots work 24/7/365, they are a depreciating asset to businesses, they don't require benefits and work at the same pace day after day after day. The revolution is in its infancy but it's only a matter of time before the robot/AI revolution is everywhere.
