This Gundam is standing out in the open, and its heads moves.

Unfortunately, the Gundam will only be up for two months to celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the series.

ACE bot was developed by researchers at the Technical University of Munich. The robot asks for directions as it moves through the city. People point in the direction the robot needs to go and the robot figures out the path to it’s destination. The robot was able to reach its destination which was 1.5 kilometers away in five hours after relying on directions from 38 people.
