O Canada! Hitchhiking Robot Reaches Halfway Point
HitchBOT, the hitch-hiking robot, is now at the halfway point in its journey across Canada. For its 3,870-mile journey, the talking robot will rely solely on the kindness of human strangers, like those below.
The journey is part of a social experiment to see if it can arrive in one piece at an art gallery in Victoria, British Columbia.
