Karel the Robot

 Coder Merlin™ Karel , also known as "that little blue bot", is strongly inspired by Richard Pattis' book written during his studies at Stanford.[1][2] Richard Pattis currently teaches at the University of California, Irvine. Pattis chose the name Karel in honor of the Czech playwright Karel Čapek, who introduced the word robot in his 1921 play R.U.R.
