Over the weekend we mentioned the adorable Tweenbots project briefly, but those little guys really deserve their own post. A little background: NYU student Kacie Kinzer built the not-so-high-tech bots to see if they could make it from one side of Washington Square Park to the other, with the help of New Yorkers. She explains: "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."
