...same thinking lies behind Coda Automotive. The joint venture began after Lishen started producing electric batteries for Miles Electric Vehicles, a small-scale startup founded by former Ralph Lauren executive and philanthropist Miles Rubin. Coda Automotive, Rubin's next project, takes that relationship a step further. The Coda sedan (the body is made by another Chinese auto company, Hafei Motor) will run for about $45,000 when it goes on sale in California in 2010. Coda expects to sell about 2,700 cars in the first year, with an annual sales target of around 20,000. For Coda's Czinger...

Loeb Associate Professor of the Humanities. As an undergraduate at the University of Michigan, McCormick anticipated a career in modern dance. “I was very much influenced by East Asian philosophy—reducing things to the minimum, reducing illusionism,” McCormick...
...where he demonstrated the first flight of a robotic fly in 2007—and thinking “Hey, wouldn’t it be interesting if we took Rob’s insect robots and attached a brain to them?” They then began to think of the challenges associated with an entire colony and coordinating its activities. The project now has three main thrusts: brain, body, and colony. The researchers aim to build a colony of robotic bees that can be individually programmed to perform actions that benefit the hive as a whole, said Wood...
