Do you know where this is in Ada?
By Monty Siekerman
In the Ada Icon's continuing series of unusual sights in town, we offer this photo. Know what it is and where it is located?
It's a robot outside the front entrance to Taft Memorial where Technological Studies is taught. It is a sculpture, of sorts.
The robot, in place there for the past four years, is "frozen" so the parts no longer move...thus it has not walked away in that length of time.
ONU received the robot as a donation. Actually, technology students learn a lot about robots in their course work. Giant robots are used by large industrial companies, while very small ones can be found in surgery centers.
At Ohio Northern, students in the department can pursue studies in technology education, construction management, and manufacturing technology...and learn how robots work and how they add flexibility and efficiency to accomplish tasks.
