ACE bot was developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich. The robot asks for directions as it moves through the city. People point in the direction the robot needs to go and the robot figures out the path to it’s destination. The robot was able to reach its destination which was 1.5 kilometers away in five hours after relying on directions from 38 people.

Tweenbot makes it way through NY City with some help from strangers. They take a little cardboard robot on wheels and put a flag on it and it actually makes it on it’s journey’s with human intervention. It doesn’t get run over or defamed in any way. This is an amazing video to watch only in that people actually help it.
