A robot that succeeded in traversing the park with the help of the people who traveled

I want to go to the south-west side of the park "to a robot that can only go straight ahead and put a message in New YorkWashington Square ParkI ran across from the northeastern side of the park, how safe it was to cross the park.

It seems that the goal was able to be achieved thanks to the bad conditions that the speed of the robot is quite late and the park is wide and it can not be reached by just running straight but guided the robot to the goal properly for the robot.

Details are as below.

The protagonist is this lovely face robot "Tweenbots". A flag that wrote a message saying "I want to go to the southwestern side of the park, please help" with a robot just going straight ahead is installed.


The setting is Washington Square Park in the south of Manhattan. It is quite spacious and can not go through straight from the northeastern part of the park where Tweenbots are placed to the southwest.

According to Kacie Kinzer who made tweenbots, "Tweenbots are people dependent robots to get people to navigate," it seems they thought that the crossing of the park would be irritating, but how come Tweenbots have crossed the park safely. There were many obstacles such as a park bench, curb stone, a little indentation, but as a passerby helped me with each time Tweenbots got caught, Tweenbots never gone nor got damaged . Since Tweenbots only runs straight ahead, sometimes I headed to a dangerous direction such as a roadway, but someone helped me properly, and inside it was all a bother to say to Tweenbots "I am going to be a road so please do not go" There seemed to be some people changing direction.


The trajectory in which Tweenbots finally ran was like this. It seems that a lot of people helped it because someone assisted us in the direction change.
