DONA is another robot that solicits donations from passer-by by engages people in a pet-like interaction. DONA succeeds to attract the attention of passers-by, and also succeed to raise money for "Save the Children", a well-known international aid organization.
There is just an element of distrust for beggars these days that most of us practice a stone cold face while walking past a beggar whose hands are stretched out, asking for some sort of alms – any loose change that you have on you. All I can say is that – whether an organization is reach abundant to employ robotic beggars to solicit donations from the public, soon after that organization surely doesn’t need much money in the first place since robots aren’t cheap.
