    SCRABBLE Snob Board Game Offers Insight into Robot-Human Interactions n Byron Spice Victor plays a mean game of SCRABBLE. The trash-talking Carnegie Mellon robot is showing how machines and humans interact through playing a classic board game. You can call him a gamebot, but don’t use it during game play because the word is not in the official SCRABBLE dictionary. Victor is obsessed with SCRAB- BLE. Seated in a corner of a student lounge on the third floor of the Gates Center, Victor plays anyone who pulls up a stool. He’s ready with a taunt — “Is that all you’ve got?” — as well as a brag — “This one is going to be good.” And he has plenty of excuses — “Dude, I let you win.” His edgy personality was devel- oped by an interdisciplinary group of researchers led by Reid Simmons, PHOTO BY JASON TOGYER research professor in CMU’s Robotics V ICTOR AND R ESEARCH P ROFESSOR R EID S IMMONS P ONDER A SCRA BBL E MO V E .
