Kismet

Today I visited MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology) Museum with a group. The visit lasted about an hour. I saw robots, small machines, holograms and some visual somethings. A sociable robot called Kismet interested me with just its name.

We know that "kismet" is used in English as the same meaning of that in Turkish. I searched on the internet to learn why did they call Kismet for this robot but I couldn't find. I decided to send an email to its creator to learn its name's story. When I learn I will share with you the story. (7/13/2012)
