An 85-year old 5-story building in Shanghai was lifted off the ground and moved 200 feet away as to prevent it from demolition.

- Using a new technology dubbed ‘the walking machine’, where supports act like robotic legs, the school building inched laboriously along, one tiny step at a time.

There are sensors attached that help govern the position of specific structural components at a given time, in turn, allowing for the building to ‘move forward’.
