Orange Sparkle Ball was awarded a Real World Deployment Grant from the Michigan Economic Development Corporation's Office of Future Mobility and Electrification. This grant is enabling us to put our Autonomous Robotic Pickup Platform into action through a series of pilots in the Transportation Innovation Zone of Detroit, established by the Office of Mobility Innovation at The City of Detroit.

Orange Sparkle Ball is excited to announce our acceptance as an exhibitor at the 2024 Detroit Month of Design, and to the first ever Detroit Month of Design Mobility track!
As the only UNESCO City of Design in the United States, Detroit is a global hub of culture and creativity. The Detroit Month of Design activates spaces all over the city with experiences ranging from exhibitions, installations, product launches, talks, tours, workshops and parties.
Our event on September 7th will showcase the Autonomous Robotic Pickup Platform we are currently piloting in the Corktown neighborhood of Detroit. Beyond showcasing the technology, we'll explore the open innovation frameworks and human-centered design methodologies driving its creation.
Through a live demonstration, we'll immerse viewers in a future state where pickup is seamlessly scheduled as needed through autonomous vehicles, starting with robots. We won't just illustrate the future state; we'll also give an in-depth look at the strategic thought processes behind its realization.
In addition to representing the Orange Sparkle Ball team, this demonstration will also feature autonomous technology and hardware by Refraction AI and Intermode.
