What would our future be? As Nissan launched their Eporo concept of robot cars, it is predictable that there will be a future of automatic self-driving by robot, just as featured in many science fiction movies back in the nineties.
Nissan’s Eporo technology brings us closer to future self-driving technology that could detect collision earlier during the free mode driving. BR23C Eporo itself was inspired by the schooling fish and the system would enable a group of robot cars driving together without any collisions.
Designed with an obstacle detection system and dual laser range finders, the Eporo are able to move in small groups similar to schooling fish, without ever bumping into one another.
The robot has dual laser system in its design and it was improved to the field of view to 288-degrees. Although the small robots stand just over 1.5 feet in height and weigh under 30 pounds, Nissan believes that down the road, the new technology being tested by these robots can be incorporated into new car designs and assist with reducing traffic congestion as well as vehicle collisions.
