ANN ARBOR, Michigan: Digit marches on two legs across the floor of the University of Michigan’s Ford Motor Co Robotics Building, while Mini-Cheetah – staccato-like – does the same on four and the yellow-legged Cassie steps deliberately side-to-side.
A grand opening was held Tuesday for the four-story, US$75mil (RM308.85mil), 134,000-square-foot (11,429-square-meter) complex. Three floors house classrooms and research labs for robots that fly, walk, roll and augment the human body.
