Despite having a not so pleasant start to the day, reading about this made my morning. Basically these little cardboard robots have a flag with a destination on them and rely only on people to point them in the right direction to get to that location.
From the website:
“Often, people would ignore the instructions to aim the Tweenbot in the “right” direction, if that direction meant sending the robot into a perilous situation. One man turned the robot back in the direction from which it had just come, saying out loud to the Tweenbot, ‘You can’t go that way, it’s toward the road.’”
Sometimes, people amaze me and actually make me smile.
