@jessie@mastodon.social Ask the employees if the robots have names. If not, you have naming rights!

@catsalad@infosec.exchange @jessie@mastodon.social side note not about the robots in question, but the model itself: There's a high probability, that this is "Der Gerät", which was originally a meme and now is the official product name. An interview if the inventor went viral in Germany around 2010 in which he called it "der Gerät" (the machine, masculine form) instead of "das Gerät" (neuter form) after a TV show picked up on this. He embraced it and changed the name of the robot from "Alkadur Döner Roboter" to "Der Gerät".
