BERT, Basic Educational Robot Trainer (1985) by Karl Brown, Vancouver Community College, Electronics Department, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. BERT is based on the 6802 8-bit microprocessor and uses the SPO256 speech chip. Kits were available from Amarobot, Richmond, CA.

"Why is it, I asked myself, that very simple robots, even commercially available ones, require so much training to operate? This, I decided, was a problem, and I wanted to do something about it. What I eventually did was write a menu-driven, interactive control language intended to be simple enough for a ten-year-old to use. As it turned out, during field tests with children, I found that any child who could read could program a robot within one minute of hitting the keyboard. This, I felt, was progress. The next step was to design a robot that my fellow computer club members could build and program. That was how BERT was born." Karl Brown – Build BERT, the Basic Educational Robot Trainer (Part 1, Part 2).

You know, if you'd asked me ten years ago what the most likely path to affordable, consumer-grade direct neural interface technology was, I absolutely would not have said "furry vtubers looking for a way to control their avatars' non-human body parts without needing to take their hands off their XBox controllers", but in retrospect I'm not even slightly surprised.
