The -- it becomes the next part of the road and -- the -- -- similar technology is already being tested elsewhere -- robots to do advanced manufacturing work that material that covers the face is actually very viable today Diego's Stan isn't moving as researchers.
Are still working to develop the technology to bring advanced movement.
-- the rest of -- spot.
Researcher Deborah Forestar believes it shouldn't be too long -- before Diego's -- can be seen walking down a sidewalk side by side with people.
