waldo 音標拼音: [w'ɑldo] [w'ɔldo] / wol' doh/ [ Robert A. Heinlein' s story " Waldo"] 1. A mechanical
agent, such as a gripper arm, controlled by a human limb.
When these were developed for the nuclear industry in the
mid- 1940s they were named after the invention described by
Heinlein in the story, which he wrote in 1942. Now known by
the more generic term " telefactoring", this technology is of
intense interest to NASA for tasks like space station
maintenance.
2. At Harvard ( particularly by Tom Cheatham and students),
this is used instead of { foobar} as a metasyntactic variable
and general nonsense word. See { foo}, { bar}, { foobar},
{ quux}.
