The plot of many fantastic works is based on the fact that robots have become so smart and self-sufficient that they decided to destroy Mankind as an element they no longer need. But these are all fantasies of the writers. In real life, robots are created in order to help people in every possible way. No exception in this and robot DON-8rintended for good purposes, to help in charity.
Each person is a potential philanthropist, benefactor. And these are not lofty, pretentious words, but reality. It's just that many people who would like to help others are too lazy to move for this, to take any initiatives. But they are not averse to participating in some charity project, if it does not take much time and effort (for example, to put a bill in a donation box in a supermarket or buy a sticker "I help children" at a McDonald's restaurant).
The DON-8r robot, created by designer Tim Pryde of the Dundee Science Center, is designed to exploit this effect. The abbreviation DON-8r can be read as "donor". But in this case, the donor is not the robot itself, but a random person who is not far from it. Donor money.
This kind robot is designed to ride the city streets and collect money for various charitable projects (for example, for operations for sick people, reconstruction of historical buildings, helping orphanages, etc.) will gladly put a coin into his coin acceptor.
And for more fun, DON-8r has a special mechanism that regulates the movement of the robot, depending on the money put into it. That is, when a coin is lowered into it, it drives for a while, and then stops until it receives a new portion of finance. Thus, the creators of this robot are trying to connect not only kind, but also simply addicted people to charity.
In general, the British robot DON-8r needs to create its own union with the South Korean robot beggar DONA, which was talked about on Novate. Ru not so long ago.
