University of Dundee student Tim Pryde built a robot for his fourth year Product Design project. He named it DON-8r because its purpose is to ask for contributions to the Dundee Science Centre. This video shows a test run.
Forgot to mention, there’s no hard feelings towards the girl who breaks DON-8r at the end of the video. It was user testing after all and clearly the head was not secure enough! DON-8r has since been repaired and recapitated

A Korean has created a similar concept, called DONA. It doesn't move about, but also uses cuteness to receive donations in a little cup.

Wow, so I get cash and a robot when I pick that annoying thing up and run off with it. Sweet!
