Hyundai’s Four-Wheeled Platform Robot Will Go On Sale Next Year

Hyundai Motor Group will start selling a four-wheeled robot powered by artificial intelligence next year as the South Korean carmaker ramps up its push into advanced mobility.

The Mobile Eccentric Droid is the company’s first mass-produced mobility robot platform and is set to go into production in the first half. The streamlined robot is essentially a platform with four wheels, but its autonomous navigation and integrated sensors mean it can be used for everything from deliveries to film-making, said Hyun Dong Jin, head of Hyundai’s Robotics Lab.
