Hi all Ollie here,Hope you are having a great Tuesday ....on air now for Drive Time courtesy Of Sheridans The Home of Ford and kIA on the Cork Road.......Lots of chances to be into win including The Sheridans 500 Euro Birthday Call news,sport,traffic and the best music on the radio as picked by You :-) rnA hitchhiking, tweeting, and trivia-loving robot named hitchBOT will soon embark on a coast-to-coast, 3871-mile trek across Canada. It was initially conceived by Dr. David Harris Smith and Dr. Frauke Zeller as a collaborative art project. Armed with 3G and Wi-Fi connectivity, hitchBOT will be capable of accessing Wikipedia, interacting with social media, and both recognizing and processing speech. One thing it cant do is move: hitchBOT is largely incapable of independent motion, and must rely on charm to secure rides from Halifax, Nova Scotia to Victoria, British ColumbiarnrnThis intrepid machine is currently under construction, but the finished product is expected to look like it was cobbled from odds and ends such as pool noodles and Wellington boots. The hitchBOT team is hoping its creation can answer a question about human kindness. Usually, we are concerned whether we can trust robots, But this project takes it the other way around and asks: can robots trust human beings? HitchBOTs journey begins on July 27th, and will be chronicled on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter......rnThink It’s gonna need shapelier legs than that… :-)
