📰 How 432 robots are relocating a 7,500-ton historic building
In Shanghai, a historic building is being moved by 432 small robots at a rate of 33 feet per day to make space for a new underground development. The Huayanli complex, built in the 1920s and 1930s, is a classic example of shikumen architecture in the Zhangyuan area. The relocation is part of a project to construct a three-story underground center with cultural and commercial spaces, a parking garage, and a transportation hub. The use of small walking robots allows for precise movement in the narrow alleys and around historic buildings, minimizing the risk of damage. Once the underground construction is complete, the Huayanli complex will be returned to its original spot, blending historic charm with modern amenities in a revitalized urban space.
