The rising electric wheelchair is based.FEDEX's 6 -wheel distribution robot "ROXO" runs the last 3-6 miles

We carry anything with medicine, pizza.

Fedex, a logistics service, is developing a 6 -wheeled out distribution robot "ROXO" that runs 3 to 6 miles instead of the last miles.It is an autonomous vehicle made by talented teams and wonderful skills in Fedex and DEKA Research.

Let's take a look at "ROXO" and videos that developers appear.

Engineers have many young people.Raders, cameras, and Liders are equipped with people who create software that control them, and many machine learning experts gather to create ROXO.It is a number of cameras that detect the signal, determining by looking at the 8 to 10 signals at the intersection, and adapt to the road surface as a vehicle and as a pedestrian.

Equipped with turn signals and monitors on the back

The front wheels are floating because of the steps.However, you can also see the running of all six wheels.And on the back of "ROXO" is equipped with a monitor that displays arrows and characters as well as turn signals.

The field of view is 360 degrees, and autonomous operation is adapted to the surrounding environment.Nevertheless, the operator is remotely monitored, and if necessary, it is safe because it can be switched immediately so that people can control it.There are microphones and speakers, so if you have trouble on site, you can respond by conversation.The weight is about 204 kg and the loading capacity is about 45kg.Because it is electric, it does not give out exhaust gas.

The base vehicle stands up an electric wheelchair

The interesting thing is that ROXO was originally an electric wheelchair "IBOT" created by DEKA.There are also two auxiliary wheels of four wheel plus, but you can run on bad roads, and the wheel position is transformed and it is an amazing wheelchair that stands in two wheels.

If you stand and move, please click from 0:20.

"ROXO" has already completed 10 million hours of testing.Does this stand like a wheelchair?The function may not be necessary at the time of delivery, but it is certain that a long stairs can be raised and down.
