A Canadian experiment to test the kindness of strangers has provided an unsettling result.
After making the trek from Boston to Philadelphia, hitchBOT — a hitchhiking robot that had captured the hearts of fans worldwide — is no more. An unknown assailant damaged the robot beyond repair on Saturday in Philadelphia, according to its creators.
Prior to meeting its demise just two weeks after hitting the road in the U.S., hitchBOT made it across Canada and through much of western Europe.
