The robot will get run as a result of the callback from an event it is registered for. As a result you will not receive any user context. Probably the best way that I could think of to build what you are thinking of would be as follows: 1. Each user has a Wave with just them and the Robot as participants 2. The robot can display gadgets and information relevant to each particular user 3. Whenever any Wave is updated the Wave decides how all the User Waves should be changed. 4. Unfortunatley you would see changes being made by the robot rather than the person they were from.
Personally I see this as going a bit against the collaboration concepts of Wave, where all users contribute to the same Wave, instead you what every user to see something different?
