"X-mobility" that can mobilize everything from trunk cases to medical beds

DENSO of the automobile parts maker exhibited the booth at "CEATEC JAPAN 2014" which began on October 7, 2014, exhibiting the latest technology taking advantage of the experience of providing products to automobile manufacturers all over the world It is. By installing compact high power motor technology and in-wheel motor applying sensor, it is possible to move any object to 360 degrees by "mobility"X-mobility"is. Since it is said to operate from a smartphone or tablet, we actually asked the demonstrator to be steered.

When I came to Denso's booth, the presentation of "X-mobility" was done just. Small mobility is moving with smooth movement.


X-mobility of an in-wheel motor equipped with motors, speed reducer, battery, communication module, control board, various sensors, for example, attached to a shopping cart and made to track around them, movement of beds and dropper at a medical scene It is supposed to be used for ease of use, riding on a trunk case and riding.


That's why the X-mobility that was on display was like this.


Three X-mobility are installed in this demonstration machine, but since each wheel confirms each other's position information with each other, it is said that you can move your favorite object 360 degrees regardless of how many you attach anywhere That's it.


Easily navigate from smartphones and tablets using a dedicated app. Although it is not yet in the practical stage, it seems to make use of the experience gained by this announcement and opinion from the manufacturer for commercialization.


You can see how you are manipulating X-mobility with a tablet from the following movie.

With a very smooth movement, you can see that DENSO realizes advanced group / integrated control that makes full use of the control technology cultivated in the automobile.

Hold the black line of the circle with both hands and pull it in the clockwise direction, the mobility will rotate to the right.


Turning counterclockwise turns left.


You can also move downwards by pulling down with a black line and pulling it upward to retract. I had you steer a little, but it was not a particularly difficult operation as I got used to it.


I told the explanation staff that "It is impossible for the size of the demonstration aircraft to carry heavy luggage?", It was confirmed that X - mobility is scheduled to be made from a large size to a small size according to the intended use about. If you have X-mobility of various sizes, it seems that you can use various ways depending on the idea.
