The robot is actually called Dr Watson because IBM (the creators) feel that it can help in the medical field as an encyclopedic reference for doctors. A link between Sherlock and Robots...can't get much better than that!

Dr. Watson is a Robot!
I feel like my title is from an Asimov summary. Anyway, I just heard about this robot named Watson that is going to pay Jeopardy against human contestants next week. This article (link below) talks briefly about the coming event and also details past "mental battles" between robot and human.
