Hitch-BOT Hitchhiking Across Canada



Every day, robots are becoming available more features and abilities, which had previously only men. For example, on July 27 this year, the robot will go to independent hitch-BOT hitchhiking across Canada from the eastern coast to the west.

In 2011, Evolta robot from Panasonic was a member of the World Championship Triathlon Ironman Triathlon Challenge. Of course, he did not become a winner in this competition and came in last, but this device showed the incredible opportunities that are available to the modern robotics. Similar ideas driven and a team of Canadian developers to create an unusual robot named hitchBOT. Within a month, he will go to stand-alone travel around the country will stop the machine, to communicate with the driver through the speakers and the program of artificial intelligence, as well as to the personal blog of this trip, telling about their location and showing photos taken on the road.
The purpose of this big trip little robot is to show the world the fact that robots can trust people, and people robots. With hitchBOT begin a new era in the relationship between living beings and the products of modern technology. So far, the company that developed hitch-BOT does not show it to the world to the hype in the press does not hurt the project. The robot will be presented July 27 at the start of the day traveling from the College of Art and Design in Halifax Nova Scotia. Finish is scheduled in Vancouver.
