Followers of the news of the digital world, especially those interested in the field of robotics, received a great shock during the past days after the famous robot "Hitchbot" was destroyed by an unknown person during his journey that he launched at the end of last month in the United States of America, as this robot was not destined to complete his journey around the country.
The Hitchbot robot is one of the innovations of Canadian scientists from "Reyerson" University in Toronto and is based on an unprecedented principle as it tours countries through autostop trips and can interact and respond to people, and the purpose of that is to know Canadian scientists how humans deal with The robot and whether humans can trust robots and vice versa, and Hitchbot started his journey last summer in Canada and crossed the country from east to west in the Autostop way in only 26 days, during which he met many drivers who responded well to him as the experiment was successful.
And after the success of the experiment in Canada, the University of Toronto scientists decided to repeat the same experiment in the neighboring United States of America, but the results were not as positive, as it was launched a few days ago by the Hitchbot robot from the American city of Boston via the Autostop, but its journey ended in Philadelphia after it was destroyed by an unknown person. over the past weekend.
The team developing the Hitchbot robot, made up of Canadian scientists, indicated that the journey is not over and that they will extract the largest number of information from this experiment, and they also confirmed that they are not interested in finding the person or persons who destroyed the Hitchbot or accusing them of the accident.
