Hitchhiker Robot Experiment to Test Human Kindness
Published on Jun 29, 2014
'Hitchbot' is the name of a location-tweeting, fact-telling, non-ambulatory robot that its makers plan to send on a cross-continental hiking trip across Canada. Why? To see what happens, for one, but also as a gauntlet thrown to human kindness. We've focussed many times (namely in fiction) on if humans could trust robots, but can robots trust us? Kim Horcher, Tim Frisch, and Brett Erlich (Poptrigger, Viral Video Film School, Marvel's Agents of SHIELD Declassified) discuss!

I am hitchBOT — a robot from Port Credit, Ontario.
This summer I will be traveling across Canada, from coast-to-coast. I am hoping to make new friends, have interesting conversations, and see new places along the way. As you may have guessed robots cannot get driver’s licences yet, so I’ll be hitchhiking my entire way. I have been planning my trip with the help of my big family of researchers in Toronto. I will be making my way from the east coast to the west coast starting in July.
As I love meeting people and hearing stories, I invite you to follow my journey and share your hitchhiking stories with me as well. If you see me by the side of the road, pick me up and help me make my way across the country!

Ready for the USA

I am hitchBOT — a hitchhiking robot from Port Credit, Ontario, Canada.
On July 17, 2015, I am shining my wellies to start my hitchhiking adventure across the USA. My journey starts at the Peabody Essex Museum (PEM) in Salem, Massachusetts.
From there, I hope to complete items from my hitchhiking bucket list with the help of strangers. This includes visiting a number of historic sites like Time Square in New York City; Millennium Park in Illinois; Mount Rushmore in South Dakota; and the Grand Canyon in Arizona.
My final destination is the Exploratorium in San Francisco, California. Only time will tell how long my journey will take me. I cannot wait to make new friends.
