Posted August 19, 2014 http://www.engadget.com/2014/08/19/hitchbot-completes-trip/ Hitchhiking robot completes its cross-Canada trip comic sans for full effect It looks like robots can trust us humans to take care of them, after all. Hitchbot has successfully completed its hitchhiking trek across Canada, landing in Victoria, British Columbia this past weekend. The ride-bumming robot didn't survive its 4,000-mile journey completely unscathed. Its LED protector was cracked, and its speech had clearly suffered after two weeks of travel (hey, you try talking to people for that long). It doesn't look like there's another adventure in store, but that's okay by us; it clearly accomplished its goals of testing artificial intelligence techniques and human interaction. If you're ever keen to relive the trip, there's a photo gallery available to satisfy your nostalgic side. photo gallery http://www.hitchbot.me/gallery/ If your grave doesn't say "rest in peace" on it You are automatically drafted into the skeleton war.

Posted August 19, 2014 Robot tries* to trick Canadians. I hate it when someone is so dumb to the point where they are dumb enough to think we are dumber than them to believe them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted August 19, 2014 It just mapped out Canada for the invasion. Gullible Canadians. The stone cannot know why the chisel cleaves it; the iron cannot know why the fire scorches it. When thy life is cleft and scorched, when death and despair leap at thee, beat not thy breast and curse thy evil fate, but thank the Builder for the trials that shape thee.

Posted August 19, 2014 I'd never stop to pick up a robot... They can't be trusted! ====>The car thread<====>Dark Souls thread<====>Placeholder<==== "Life is like a raging river, Its gonna get rough downstream.

Posted August 19, 2014 I should build some robots and send them out to trick people into donating money to it. Like watching Anime?

Posted August 19, 2014 You do realize that this was sorta like a canada wide thing where everyone was like "Omg cool, i'm in on this" They didn't trick us, we knew what we wanted to happen and we made it happen. we're not gullible we knew about this thing from public news (yes our news is nothing but interesting things happening in other parts of the world) Computing enthusiast.

Nothing happens up there!" This is actually kind of funny, I wonder if someone thought to install a wireless card reader and steal the card numbers of everyone who picked it up? Also I wonder how many truckers tried to rape it. Ketchup is better than mustard. GUI is better than Command Line Interface.

Posted August 20, 2014 canadian truckers are actually 18 year olds rejected by holister and modelling companies. Modelling?........ Is it wrong for me to wish that they are all women?

Posted August 20, 2014 lol, i'm talking about guys mainly. a lot of trucker guys are actually quite young. I haven't seen many trucking females but it's not too bad. There have been a few hot chick truckers on TV, but part of me feels like they just got into it to get onto Ice road truckers. Ketchup is better than mustard.

Posted August 20, 2014 Also I wonder how many truckers tried to rape it. would that be considered digital rape? Grammar and spelling is not indicative of intelligence/knowledge.

Posted August 20, 2014 Today a friendly robot, tomorrow its the terminator You think them not letting a robot into their car would stop all possibility of a terminator-like situation?
