Xavier is a 300-pound robot built by Carnegie Mellon students with connections Internet connections. Thanks to an Ethernet radio bridge, Xavier can receive commands from Net teleoperators (www.cs.cmu.edu/~Xavier). Logging onto Xavier's Web page, you can view a map of Wean Hall and select the room to which you'd like to send the autonomous gadfly. Once there, Xavier will either take a picture, bellow a greeting, or tell a knock-knock joke. And, look out, kids, Xavier is scheduled to receive an arm soon. Future command we'd like to see: "Punch Marty Rimm."
