Spotted in Detroit: A Humanoid Robot Walking the Streets — And Turning Heads

It wasn’t a movie set or sci-fi promo—just an ordinary day on Detroit’s 7 Mile Road when something extraordinary happened.

A life-sized humanoid robot, known as Zion, strolled calmly through the city, greeting strangers, shaking hands, and making people stop, stare, and smile. No special effects. No wires. Just a real robot, in the real world, walking among us like it belonged there.
