A robot could be programmed to have certain responses to stimuli without also experiencing qualia. Perhaps it could act quite similarly to people who have qualia, despite not having qualia. (not clear if this actually is possible)

Essentially yes, although technically, a p-zombie is behaviorally indistinguishable from a person who does experience qualia, whereas my tweet postulated a behavioral correlate of qualia.
