The Tweenbots experiment is the idea and creation of Kacie Kinzer Kinzer's idea was to make a robot that could navigate the city and reach its destination only if it was aided by pedestrians Tweenbots rely on the kindness of warm-hearted strangers Made simply of cardboard, wheels, and a device to turn the wheels, the Tweenbots face many dangers on the city streets They could be run over by cars or smashed by careless kids Kinzer thought her little robots might even be seen as some kind of terrorist device The 15 only real protection a Tweenbot has is its friendly smile In addition to that, each of Kinzer's robots is fitted with a flag that displays instructions for the robot's destination The only way these robots will reach their final point is if someone lends them a hand. Tweenbots are essentially a social experiment aimed at providing people a chance to show how caring they are. On a daily basis, people in New York City are often in a hurry to get around However, the Tweenbots, through their inability to look after themselves, took people out of their normal routines The people who noticed the helpless little robots were actually interested in helping the Tweenbots find their way home Tweenbots move at a constant speed and 25 can only go in a straight line If one was to get stuck, or was going in the wrong direction, it would be up to strangers to free it or turn it in the right direction Surprisingly, no Tweenbot was lost or damaged, and each one arrived at its target in good condition In fact, most people treated the robot in a gentle manner, and some even treated it as though it were a 30 small living being. Even if you were in a rush to go somewhere, would you stop and help a Tweenbot successfully reach its destination? (Source: Reading Challenge) What is this reading about?
