HitchBOT’s next ride could be with FedEx — destination: home
HitchBOT is expected to catch a ride back to Canada after the popular hitchhiking robot was dismembered and left in shambles in downtown Philadelphia on the long weekend.
Rhode Island resident Kyle Silva, 24, who had showed the pint-sized robot around his neighbourhood last month as it was starting its trek across America, said a local hitchBOT “super-fan” drove about 440 kilometres to Philadelphia to pick up the robot’s remains and bring them to East Providence.
“He knew the thing was dead. The whole head, everything, was missing. He knew it was doing no good sitting in that area, so he just took it, brought it back,” said Silva on Tuesday.
He said the good Samaritan has been in touch with hitchBOT’s research team about sending what’s left of the robot back to Canada.
EDITORIAL COMMENT:- "Hitchbot" travelled across Canada and big chunks of Europe without problems. What does this say?

Its pretty sad that this happened at all, I know its just a robot but it mad it across many countries only to come to America and become a victim.
