Researchers at the University of Waterloo have developed a prototype that they say provides everything needed to assemble a fully functional vehicle, except the body.
Published Wednesday, March 27, 2019 9:01AM EDT
Amir Khajepour, a mechanical and mechatronics engineering at the University of Waterloo, says the invention could allow the mining industry, resorts, or anyone else looking to utilize smaller vehicles to produce them at “a fraction of the cost” of current methods. With all these “complicated elements” taken care of, the module would allow anyone looking to produce a vehicle for a specialized use to get an off-the-shelf solution that provides them with a head start on development.
While the modules handle the computerized aspects of a vehicle, it would still be up to somebody else to produce the physical systems, including the body. The modules can then be bolted directly to the manufactured frame.
