That doesn't make sense. The song says "Rob-a-to" (rhymes with Arig-a- to and means "Robert"). It makes no sense to use that jingle except it is a robot sounding voice.
Section: Android News Theme: Good Morning Robert That makes little sense to me, unless the android fella is called Robert. Furthermore, If I was dressed as a Roboto, and my name was Robert, I would not (in my disguise) call a Roboto "Robato". That would be simply wrong. However, a Roboto might call me Robato - that I would be fine with. Especially if my name was Robert Kilroy.
