"HitchBot, assembled from household odds and ends by university professors Frauke Zeller and David Smith, was to reunite with its creators at an art gallery in Victoria, British Columbia having crossed more than 3,700 miles.

"This project turns our fear of technology on its head and asks, 'Can robots trust humans?'" Zeller told AFP in late July when HitchBot's trip began." (via)
