    Meet Balto, Michigan Tech’s Robo Doggo

    With multiple robotics courses now being offered and a new robotics lab slated to open this year, Michigan Technological University's College of Computing is introducing Balto the robot dog to the campus community. Balto, named for the legendary husky and lead sled dog who ran the last leg of a more than 500-mile dog sled relay to deliver diphtheria antitoxin to Nome, Alaska, in 1925, will be the greeter in Michigan Tech's new robotics lab, coming to Rekhi Hall.
