Collision-free Driving by Mimicking Fish Behavior: Nissan Eporo
Fish-inspired technology takes center stage in Nissan Motor Co., Ltd.’s new Nissan “EPORO*1″ robot car concept, which is designed to travel in a group of like-vehicles, mimicking the behavioral patterns of a school of fish in avoiding obstacles without colliding with each other.
Nissan demonstrate this breakthrough technology with a group of six EPOROs when they make their world debut at the CEATEC JAPAN 2009, October 6 – 10 at the Makuhari Messe.
