Attempting to help out the writers on the show by coming up with the meaning behind the name of a robot character. I’m going to play it safe and not mention the robot’s actual acronym - but I have found this to be a great writing exercise so far. And here’s some robots I’ve come across for reference:
HAL 9000 ("Heuristically Programmed Algorithmic computer") from Space Odyssey
EDI ("Extreme Deep Invader") from Stealth
KITT ("Knight Industries Two Thousand") from Knight Rider
WALL-E ("Waste Allocation Load Lifter - Earth-Class") from WALL-E
EVE ("Extraterrestrial Vegetation Evaluator") from WALL-E
HARLIE ("Human Analog Robot Life Input Equivalents") from When HARLIE Was One
S.A.M. ("Super Automated Machine") from Sesame Street
BEN ("Bio-Electronic Navigator") from Treasure Planet
H.E.R.B.I.E. ("Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics") from Fantastic Four
R.I.C. 2.0 ("Robotic Interactive Canine") from Power Rangers SPD
S.O.P.H.I.E. ("Series One Processor Hyper Intelligent Encriptor") from Power Rangers SPD
