"Pamphleteer" or "Little Brother" by IAA (Institute for Applied Autonomy)
Pamphleteer, aka "Little Brother," is a propaganda robot which distributes subversive literature. Pamphleteer is designed to bypass the social conditioning that inhibits activists' ability to distribute propaganda by capitalizing on the aesthetics of cuteness.
By modeling the robot as a cute, wide-eyed robot, reminiscent of those from sci-fi cartoons, the IAA is able to draw unsuspecting people in to taking their material, usually about political issues and local activism. Everyone is more likely to take pamphlets from a cute little robot that talks then some punk with a mohawk, right?
