A robotic toy kit invented by a Purdue University professor captured awards at last week’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas and is now just days away from commercialization. Ziro is the brainchild of Purdue Donald W. Feddersen Professor of Mechanical Engineering Karthik Ramani. Dubbed the largest consumer electronics event in the world, CES 2016 named the toy one of three "Best Maker-Friendly Technology" awards.
