Whys she called Lucy?
We actually named her after the famous Australopithecus skeleton. Although Lucy is ostensibly an orangutan she is, after all, a robot, and in many ways quite unlike any living primate. We called her Lucy in honour of our relatives from the past. The name also reminds us of Lucy the chimpanzee, who was raised as if she were a human baby by Richard Temerlin. Our Lucy will also be raised in a family, and our very long term objective is to get her successfully through kindergarten.
