I found this on my travels about the internets. Someone wanted to see if a humanoid robot could traverse the streets relying on the kindness of strangers. Also, the music is fun.
Here’s the website. I can’t help but think the little guys that were created probably have a better chance of being assisted than a full on humanoid, but it’s still a fun idea. Its destination is written on the flag, so people have an idea in which way to aim it if they help it out.
Remember kids, just because a little robot has a smiley face drawn on it, it doesn’t mean it’s full of seething hatred for all things Man. Approach with caution. This guy might be able to help you out.
