In 2015, Hitchbot — a hitchhiking robot made from pool noodles and a bucket by the eager students of Canada’s Ryerson University-slash-Toronto Metropolitan University — was dismembered by unidentified assailants on the streets of Philadelphia. Its decapitated cake-container of a head has never been recovered.
In this episode, we’re going to try to answer the question: Can you murder a robot? Plus, social experiments, baby seal violence, and everyone's favorite sci-fi topic: sex robots.
