A really sweet little project by ITP student Kacie Kinzer called Tweenbots.
“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”.
The cardboard design, small size and smiley face aid in the perception of a fragile object that needs help. More bots on the way soon.
