Abstract :
The naming of robots in competitions is an emergent phenomenon. Naming is invoked by the affordances of competition registration forms. Naming both reflects and creates robot identity, and is illustrative of the social relations between robot designer and robot. Naming is a fundamental classifier and naming practices have been shown to have far reaching implications for behavior in many domains.
