In 1896, Peter Alexander Walter built his first humanoid robot. Rabbit was made with a copper exterior, and ran off of a new form of energy: Blue Matter.He got his name while he was just a curious head on Walter's table. Having just made the world's first artificial intelligence, Peter Walter was excited to explore the robot's abilities. He pointed to a lab animal in a cage, and said; "Rabbit."
"Raa-bit," the robot said.
Peter was so astonished and delighted when the robot repeated the word back to him, that he pointed at other things in the lab, wondering if he could teach him more words. But all the robot would say all night was Rabbit, and that's how he got his name.
