WASHINGTON — There is a robot for everything. Now, there is one that hitchhikes.
HitchBOT, the humanoid robot, is tweeting its journey to San Francisco from Massachusetts.
So far the robot — the creation of two Canadian researchers — has watched a Red Sox game and has been out to sea.
The last time WTOP checked, it was in New York City and took its first ride on a subway train.
#hitchBOT is now with @sokmelousy and is headed to NYC. Look forward to following the journey. #hitchBOTinUSA pic.twitter.com/BlMKkd6p0R

The robot is immobile and depends on strangers to move it around.
Previously, the robot took 26 days to travel across Canada.
