China Building Walks Robotic Legs
You can either demolish a building and rebuild it elsewhere, move the structure piece-by-piece, or use specialized robotic legs. Engineers in China chose the latter, and attached 198 robotic legs onto the bottom of an 85-year-old historical school building in Shanghai. In the span of around 3-weeks, it managed to move 62 meters, a few inches at a time. These legs mimicked human feet and this walking function saved them 20% more time compared to other methods.



Lagena Primary School was originally built in 1935 and just recently, it required the move to make way for a new commercial center. A structure of this size requires lots of room to get around, but fortunately, they were able to slightly rotate the building to make it all fit in the end.
