EZ-Robot team, have you guys seen or heard of HitchBot?

http://www.roboticstrends.com/research_academics/article/hitchbot_robot_tries_to_hitchhike_across_canada/?utm_source=RoboTrendsWeekly&utm_medium=email

Looks like it's going to start its hitch hiking adventure July 27th, 2014

If you guys are able to give Hitchbot a ride back to the HQ for a party or something I'm sure Hitchbot would enjoy meeting some other Canadian robots. ;)

That is very interesting. I hope he makes it all the way across Canada and doesn't get disassembled along the way.

#2  

Or maybe someone will pick him up and install an EZB4 in him and make him smarter.

#3  

very cool idea. i wonder if anyone will try to take little dude home and keep him lol

#4  

If this was tried in the USA the poor thing would probably end up in parts and pieces and assimilated into used cars and stereo equipment. eek

#5  

The robot just needs to ask the driver " hey this neighborhood is a little rough for a robot like me , keep on driving a few more miles" haha

#6  

if he gets it danger he just says "Core Explosion in 10 9 8 7 6 5 ... I bet no one is still standing close when he gets to 1

#7  

It worked for the robot in the movie "Robot and Frank"
