Robo-Giving
Why is it that I would trust giving my money to a cute robot before a human? Take a look at DON-8r (pronounced donator) & you’ll see what I mean. This coin-powered fundraising robot is a friendly little guy who only needs a passer-by to chip in so he can keep moving. DON-8r is already at work in Scotland, raising money and awareness by encouraging playful and empathetic support by engaging strangers in a fun and memorable way. Designed to be rebranded to suit different charities, I can definitely see this catching on… and I’m all for it. (Does not include defense lasers or anti-theft forcefield.)
Designer: Tim Pryde

"Why is it that I would trust giving my money to a cute robot before a human?" Never thought of that myself, but I see what you mean. However, at least it's used in a clever way.
