The robot was designed to be a talking travel companion. It could throw out random factoids.
"We want to see what people do with this kind of technology when we leave it up to them," Frauke Zeller, one of the creators and an assistant professor in professional communication at Toronto's Ryerson University, told the AP. "It's an art project in the wild — it invites people to participate."

I guess somebody in Philly doesn't like a talking robot that won't shut up.

When you design something to rely on human beings' basic goodwill, you end up with the same result as when you design something to rely on human beings' basic common sense, because, like æther waves, neither of those things actually exists.
