TOYOTA “Winglet” : DigInfo
Wednesday, July 20, 2011 11:25
DigInfo – movie.diginfo.tv http www.carbodydesign.com Toyota developed the “Winglet” personal transport assistance robot as one of the “Toyota partner robots” now being developed by Toyota for supporting human activity. The new transport robot is designed to be ridden in the standing position. The robot body has a projected area that is equivalent to the size of an A3 sheet of paper, is light enough to be carried, and is controlled with sensors that constantly detect the rider’s position to enable stabilized electric powered travel on two wheels. The robot also features a unique parallel linkage mechanism that allows the rider to steer the robot forward and back and to turn by merely shifting his or her weight. As a result, the robot can be comfortably used with peace of mind even in narrow or crowded locations. The Winglet is available in three different models, which include Type L, Type M, and Type S, and each model is achieved by changing the steering unit on the upper body to offer a different operation feeling that ranges from practical to a sporty, hands-free ride. The ideal model for the intended application can be selected from the three models. Toyota intends to achieve practical application of its “partner robot” within the next 10 years and intends to aggressively move forward with developments to meet that goal. Good Design Expo 2008

Dont forget that this was created in Japan. The mass of people there aren’t over weight, they don’t over eat like Americans do, and they even hold a high standard that can’t be compared to Americans as far as the way that you look. If you have a pot belly, and you are married to a Japanese woman over there, you will hear everyone tell you how you are in serious health danger! Japanese are not irresponsible, stupid, and fat like Americans.
