Cutest robots ever.
Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.
Best comment from hackaday:
it just occurred to me - not only is it programming humans, it’s using an *exploit* to do it. people won’t just help any old object get to it’s destination, but a cute robot crying out for help? it’s a rootkit for people.
