The hitchBOT is seen posed next to Highway 17 north of Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario, and a portion of the Trans-Canada Highway August 5th, 2014. The hitch hiking robot is part of a social experiment to see if drivers will pick up and drop off the robot in one piece from Halifax, Nova Scotia, to an art gallery in Victoria, British Columbia. It is now at the halfway point in its journey across Canada. |
