“Tweenbots are human-dependent robots that navigate the city with the help of pedestrians they encounter. Rolling at a constant speed, in a straight line, Tweenbots have a destination displayed on a flag, and rely on people they meet to read this flag and to aim them in the right direction to reach their goal.” says Kacie Kinzer, author of the project.

So the object on its own is just a tool, a moving object that only becomes a robot by acessing the spectators inteligence to get directed towards its goal – nice merge and involvement of the spectators!
