Spring 2023 GRASP on Robotics: John Suh, Hyundai New Horizons Studio, “Ultimate mobility vehicles or what happens when you combine robotics and car design”
March 24, 2023 at 10:30 AM - 11:45 AM
This is a hybrid event with in-person attendance in Wu and Chen and virtual attendance via Zoom. This week’s presenter will be in-person as well.
ABSTRACT
New Horizons Studio is a team that is focused on the design, technology, and engineering of ultimate mobility vehicles. NHS believes that the combination of robotics and car design will result in vehicles the overcome the limitations of cars with conventional suspension systems. A brief history covering the beginnings of the idea and the current state of development will be presented. In addition to the core technical challenges, how such a vehicle could be used will also be discussed.
