Carnegie Mellon University has a robot named Victor who not only plays scrabble, but talks trash.
It’s all part of the CMU Robotics Institute’s attempt at making robots that are more human.
Victor the Mechanical Marvel is a robot with a head, face, and body that knows how to “diss” and “burn” his way through a game of scrabble.
Victor is filled with little human qualities, for example he has a few different moods and can become quite the sore loser when beaten in a game.
While the future may not be jam packed with Scrabble playing bots, Victor’s design is complete with human touches that are surly going to be replicated in different types of robotics advancements to come.
