RoboCar is an autonomous car prototype manufactured in Japan by
ZMP, a robotics startup.
This car is
remote controlled by computer and it avoids any obstacles only using its sensors, lasers, radar, and embedded video cameras.
In fact this model is a replica of the robocar toy that already exists in Japan. The real Robocar vehicle will be
on sale starting November this year.
This multi-purpose car of the future will be used for
hospitals and public facilities.
No price has yet been disclosed.
The car is powered by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery. Weighing 211 pounds (96 kg), it uses a brushless DC electric motor and can reach a maximum speed of 37 mph (60 km/h).
