Hitchhiker bot

1

Admit it. What do you usually do when you see a hitchhiker on the side of a street? Ditch ’em, not hitch ’em, right? What if there was a robot there instead?

Built by Frauke Zeller, a Ryerson University communications professor, hitchBOT is complex enough to hold a conversation with other people. Within a few hours of being deposited near Halifax airport, hitchBOT was picked up, tweeting and Instagram-ming its whereabouts and pictures in its cross-country journey.

The hithBOT can also look up facts about its area, and has so far traveld with vacationers, rock bands, and has even crashed a wedding. So next time you’re out hitchhiking, be sure to dress up like a robot and you’ll get to your destination in no time at all!

    Unquestionably believe that which you said. Your favorite justification seemed to be on the web the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people
    consider worries that they plainly do not know about.
    You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also defined
    out the whole thing without having side effect , people can take a signal.
    Will likely be back to get more. Thanks
