Robots Will Make Your Car Move Like A Fish To Avoid Collisions
October 1st, 2009
Robots, fish, and cars. What do they have in common? Not a damn thing. Until now. Someone got it into their head that robots should mimic the movements of fish to avoid crashes. They look like clan members from the year 2070 to me.
Nissan wants to make your car avoid accidents by swerving like a fish, so they have been studying schools of fish and how they avoid colliding with each other while swimming. They have incorporated the technology and put it in these three-wheeled bots. Seven of them travel together and avoid crashes by using laser range finders that measure distance from one another. They share that info with each other and hopefully avoid Clan member collision.
