Its a shame. This is a neat idea and someone decided to vandalize it. It made it through New York and Boston, Philly that bad?

Further details about the hitchhiking trip and the vandalism will be available by August 5.If you hear more about what happened, please let us know! Having always lived in the Philly area - and lived and worked in it for a while - I'm curious.
I just checked further, and another article says the robot was "damaged beyond repair," and the battery is dead so the researchers can't track its location:

I'm surprised it was able to travel as far as it did.

Sodomized, urinated on, lunch money stolen, knocked unconscious or something heinous and dastardly like being called “racist”. The “brothers” don’t have brotherly love.

adorable robot who was only counting on the kindness of strangers to hitchhike across the country Great. Now even the hobos are being replaced by robots.

It takes time to write politically correct verbiage.

Wonder how the program was supposed to work. Unlike a person, if you picked up and then left off a robot, you’d be littering.

If we behaved badly in St. Louis Jack Buck would shame us for dishonoring Stan the Man. No one wanted to get called unsportsmenlike by Jack Buck.

You can watch HitchBot's last ride (in Philadelphia) right here:
Link with more info & video
Skip forward in the video to the part where they pick up the robot and then drop it off at 3:00 in the morning.
