Help with choosing a name!

[Guest]

I am currently involved in a project of making a two-legged LEGO robot that lears to walk by itself. Now as with any project, coming up with a good project name is the most important thing.

Me and my colleague spent a couple of hours yesteday, trying to come up with a good name. We came up with several, but none of them were really good. We are hoping to find a good acronym that forms some funny word.

Examples:

DARWIN = Distributed Autonomus Robotic Walking Intelligent Navigator

WALKER - Walking Autonomous LEGO Kinetic Evolutionary Robot

DRAW - Distributed Robotic Autonomous Walker

We were however never pleased with the names we came up with. So I thought about asking it here, since I know we have many imaginative people hanging around here.

Good words to use (related to the project):

Autonomous

Robot

Step

Genetic (Algorithm)

Neural (Network)

Learning

Controller

System

Evolutionray

Biped

Two-Legged

Distributed

Navigation

Walk

LEGO

Unsupervised

Kinetic

...etc

There are actually three names we are looking for: One for the robot itself. One for the software on the robot client and one for the software on the host computer.

So if anybody has any suggestions, it will be more then welcome

JOEL - Joint Operation Engineering Lego

DENOIR - Distributed Evolutionary Neural Operating Intelligence Robot

i'll think of some more...

Lol. That was a good one

Here are some more:

*********

DRAW - Distributed Robotic Autonomous Walker

PAINT - Programming AI Navigator Toolbox

**********

*********

WEB - Walking Evolutionary Robot

SPIDER - System Programing Interface for Distributed Evolutionary Robots

*********'

*****************************

SABER - Servomechanic Autonomous Biped EvolutionaryRobot

BLADE - Biped Learning Algorithm, Distributed Edition

HANDLE High-Level Algorithm for Navigation using Distribiuted Learning Evolution

*********************************

The problem is finding three names that have some mutual connection.

Yes, that is an idea - a continuation of that thought:

CAESAR

Cybernetic Autonomous Evolving System for Adaptive Robots

BRUTUS

Biped Robotic Unrestricted Targeting Unsupervised System

CLEOPATRA

Cyberenetic Lego Evolutionary Object Programmable Advanced Tracking Robotic Automata

NERO

Navigation Evolving Robotic Object

CALIGULA

Cybernetic Autonomous Learning Intelligent Genetic Unsupervised LEGO Algorithm

GAIUS

Genetic Algorithm Integrated Unsupervised System

TITUS

Temporal Intelligent Tracking Unsupervised System

Does the name have to mean anything?

If not hear are a few you might consider:

RED

Count Redular

Lego man

Amorphous

The machine

(Yes I am incredibly bad at picking names)

RED

&

Doi

from the faboulos 70´s movie "Silent Running"

Maybe I´ll watch the video once more to get explanations for the names...

[ralphwiggum 6]

here are some i thought of, when i should hae been studying

LEGO OFP: LEGO Operated Functional Pedestrian

OFPR: Operable Functional Pedestrian Robot

Velka Ves: Vertical Electronic Lego Kinetically Autmated Vehicle Emulating System

Fubar: Functional Upright Basic Automated Robot

Jester: Jointed Electric Standing Electrical Ronot

Ralph: Robot Assisted Lego Pedestrian Haul

Sniper: Simple Neuron Integrated Pedestrian Electrical Robot

and finally,

Ondrej: Operable Network Dependent Robotic Electrical Joints

[Jester983 0]

What about Jonny 5.

I like ralph's suggestion about Jester
