ok this isn't really about robots.  its about this guy who built these little things that have a face drawn on them, and wheels that move it forward ever so slowly.  they also have a little looped tape recorder built into them, expressing to everyone who walks by exactly where they are trying to go, and that they are not able to turn themselves.  and every time he releases one, it always manages to get where it is going, unharmed, depending entirely on the kindness of strangers.  i thought it was kind cool.

here is the website if you wanna read more on it.

If all robots are this cute, maybe we'll have to rethink letting them take over.

It says that often someone would send the bot in the wrong direction, but someone else would step in and save the tweenbot. Very cute little guy, I'd save him.
