Actually the time traveling robot's mission was to come back as a young man, known as Arnold Murray. with whom Turing would become infatuated. The purpose of this mission was an evolution of the continued misunderstanding of the philosophical nature of the Turing test and it's human centric definition of intellect. The robot's inventor figured that if he proved the robot was "at least as intelligent" as Turing by causing him to fall in love with it, it would thereby pass the Turing Test.

A similar robot was sent for Church, but he couldn't understand it's lisp.
