tweenbot
This is simply precious, I was struck by Kacie Kinzer’s (of the Tisch School of the Arts @ NYU) social experiment involving a bot that relies heavily if not solely on human interaction.
“Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.”
