I'm seeing a lot of these sorts of projects pop up lately, and I must say they're fascinating. Robots encroaching upon what has traditionally been the homeless's turf. These bots have no where else to go, carry their entire lives in around with them, and have to beg just to get by. In a society that is more uneasy around the homeless than they are sympathetic, maybe it makes sense to automate the whole process.
