HitchBOT, a talking robot about the size of a 6-year-old child, plans to hitchhike across Canada this summer, all by its lonesome self. It will start its coast-to-coast journey on July 27 from the side of the road near The Institute for Applied Creativity at Nova Scotia College of Art and Design in Halifax. Counting solely on the kindness of human strangers one ride at a time, HitchBOT hopes to reach the Open Space Gallery in Victoria, British Columbia, 3,870 miles (6,228 kilometers) away.
