Well the title is a little deceiving we are definitely not talking about screaming little High School Musical robots designed to have the appearance of 10-12 year old human being. No our tween robots friends are something quite different from that.
The "tween bot" is designed by Kacie Kinzer for an experiment to test the interaction between human and something non-human in this case a robot. The bigger picture of this is to test man's reaction or should I say interaction with aliens or anything of the sort.
Our cute little friend was placed in different places with a little flag on its back saying "Help Me!!" fallowed by a destination that it normally could not reach on its own. The tween bot goes in one direction and goes only one speed. It also rides low to the ground making it easy for it to get stuck in a gutter or a crack in the concrete.
The results? Pretty darn good, it seems that the good people of this world are willing to help out this little guy. Just take a look!
