Saucony and Lay’s collaborate for food-inspired sneakers with regional flavors in China

Posted on by

Around 2020 – give or take a year or two – when I was just getting into writing about sneakers, I read about Dunkin’ collaborating with Saucony (an athletic footwear brand I had only just discovered), for a marathon in Boston. At the time, I wasn’t convinced that food and shoes, an odd pairing, could really find common ground for a collaboration. Nearly a decade later, Saucony finds itself in the middle of another food-themed partnership. This one is specific to China, but it’s likely to interest foodies and sneakerheads far beyond the region.

Saucony this time has teamed up with Lay’s to develop a trio of sneakers inspired by the potato chip brand’s three regional flavors. Since, the silhouettes are made exclusively for the Chinese market, it is not yet confirmed if the sneakers will be sold outside of the country. The interested collectors would have to look at the resale websites and markets for these pairs.

Designer: Saucony x Lay’s

Food-inspired sneakers are not only limited to a company per se. Over the years, we have seen many brands combine the two, at various occasions, to create surprisingly great results. These pairs either derive names for their colorway from tasty treats or are licensed to sell in collaboration with a food item or a restaurant. The iconic potato chip brand here finds room in the sneaker culture with the partnership.

The three sneakers launched in this collection include a Cohesion 2K, Grid Fusion, and the more globally recognized Trainer 80X. The first in the trio is the Saucony Cohesion 2K, which is inspired by the popular seaweed flavor. It features a grey mesh and suede upper with a few green accents all around, which includes the Saucony logos.

The next in the collection is the Grid Fusion, designed after the spicy crayfish. The essence of the spicy crayfish is exquisitely carried in this pair, which feature warm brown swede and dark mesh in the upper and hints of its in the midsole. The soft beige on the midsole and the other accents complete the look.

The third pair in the series is the Trainer 80X which is instinctively identifiable with its classic yellow of a Lay’s potato chip bag. It has a gum sole and a yellow leather and suede upper. What really ties the three pairs together at the playful chip bag-like hashtags and exclusive co-branding. There is no word on when these silhouettes will be available or how each one of them will be priced. But one thing we are sure of is that we can only admire these food-inspired sneakers, there is no way these are crossing the shores of China.

Record setting Pocket Lab shrinks a full AI supercomputer into the size of a power bank

Posted on by

We have come a long way from the computers the size of entire rooms to the sleek personal computers that sit comfortably on our desks. The evolution of computing has consistently pushed toward smaller form factors and greater efficiency. The Mac mini, for example, illustrates how compact modern PCs have become. Yet the question persists: how miniature can a powerful computing device truly be? A recent Guinness World Records certification offers a striking answer.

Tiiny AI, a US-based deep-tech startup, has unveiled the Pocket Lab, officially verified as the “world’s smallest personal AI supercomputer.” This palm-sized device, no larger than a typical power bank, is capable of running large language models (LLMs) with up to 120 billion parameters entirely on-device, without relying on cloud servers or external GPUs.

Designer: Tiiny AI

At its core, the Pocket Lab aims to make advanced artificial intelligence both personal and private. Traditional AI systems often depend on cloud infrastructure, which can raise concerns around data privacy, latency, and carbon emissions associated with large server farms. The Pocket Lab addresses these issues by enabling fully offline AI computation. All processing, data storage, and inference happen locally on the device, reducing dependence on internet connectivity or cloud resources.

Despite its compact size, measuring 14.2 × 8 × 2.53 centimeters and weighing roughly 300 grams, this mini supercomputer delivers noteworthy computing power. The system operates within a typical 65-watt energy envelope, comparable to a conventional desktop PC, yet manages to support extensive AI workloads. The hardware architecture combines a 12-core ARMv9.2 CPU with a custom heterogeneous module that includes a dedicated Neural Processing Unit (NPU), together achieving approximately 190 TOPS (tera-operations per second) of AI compute performance. This configuration is backed by 80 GB of LPDDR5X memory and a 1 TB solid-state drive, allowing large AI models to run efficiently without external accelerators.

Two key technologies underpin the Pocket Lab’s ability to run large models so efficiently in such a small package. TurboSparse improves inference efficiency through neuron-level sparse activation, reducing computational overhead while preserving model intelligence. PowerInfer, an open-source heterogeneous inference engine with a significant developer following, dynamically distributes workloads across the CPU and NPU, delivering server-grade performance at far lower power and cost than traditional GPU-based solutions.

In practical terms, the Pocket Lab supports a wide ecosystem of open-source AI models and tools. Users can deploy popular LLMs such as GPT-OSS, Llama, Qwen, DeepSeek, Mistral, and Phi, alongside agent frameworks and automation tools, all with one-click installation. This broad software compatibility extends the device’s usefulness beyond enthusiasts and hobbyists to developers, researchers, professionals, and students.

By storing all user data and interactions locally with bank-level encryption, the Pocket Lab also emphasizes privacy and long-term personal memory. This feature contrasts with many cloud-based AI services that retain data on remote servers. Tiiny AI plans to showcase the Pocket Lab at CES 2026, but has not yet disclosed full details on pricing or release dates.

Turkish RV maker just dropped ‘most durable and lightest’ full-bodied pickup camper with unfurling rooftop tent

Posted on by

I don’t always envy adventurers living out of pick-up campers; for some reason though, the Atlas Cabin Box is making me weak in the knees. Designed by Hotomobil, an RV manufacturer from Istanbul, Türkiye, the Atlas is not a typical hardtop truck camper. It is somewhere between a full-bodied option and a rooftop tent that is really impressive to start out with. And the interior, well that’s actually where I find this cabin different from what we have seen in the past.

The combination makes the Atlas different but appealing in two ways. One, the transformative build allows it to maximize the space, and two, it is pretty affordable as opposed to other truck campers. The hard box image of the Atlas Cabin is deceptive of its capability. The low-profile design, sits flush on the truck bed and confines itself well within the side boundaries, minimizing drag and of course packing in a complete camping setup for two. It sets up in a jiffy when the camper’s top is lifted and the tent unfurls.

Designer: Hotomobil

Designed to be spacious and fully-equipped for a user’s camping needs, the Atlas Cabin box, the company claims, is the “most durable and lightest” option in its class. This is made possible with its Monoblock body. The cabin in its absolute versatility can be used as a spacious cargo box and when at the camp, it can transform from the box into and full-size tent pitched above from the ground on a truck bed.

The safe and secure camper is ideal for weekend and even those long road adventures without a reservation. But its insulation can be a concern if you’re planning to take it out in the winter. The tent will require insulation and heating to sustain that kind of camping requirement, but otherwise, there should be no concern in having a comfortable stay in it. Coming to what you get here; the Atlas is a 4-foot-high, 150 kg T-shaped cabin. Of course, that’s not something worth camping in, so the top lid of this box opens full 90-degress to unfurl a tent.

The open tent instantly extends the headroom to 8.5 feet and pitches comfortably from the truck bed down to the ground, opening up space for more than just sleeping and eating. The living unit of the tent is accessible via a telescopic ladder and is provided with a double bed and a dinette with cushioned seats and a table that functions as a work desk when required. Other accessories include a single-burner portable gas stove placed alongside the dinette, a fresh and waste water cans, faucet, space for the power station, and a chest fridge. The Hotomobil Atlas Cabin is available as an empty shell or an Urban Edition that features the above-mentioned amenities. The pricing starts at approximately $11,000 bare bones, and $13,400 for the accessorized Urban Edition.

DIY Lo-Fi Cassette Machine turns Bluetooth streaming into a living, analog kinetic sculpture

Posted on by

This Lo-Fi Cassette Machine feels like something pulled straight from an alternate timeline—one where streaming never erased the tactile magic of analog media. It takes the quiet charm of a vintage cassette deck, stretches the tape into a kinetic sculpture, and fuses it with modern Bluetooth convenience to create an experience that’s as visual as it is sonic. The moment you see the exposed tape gliding across acrylic panels and the fluorescent VU tube pulsing to the beat, the build instantly recalls the nostalgic futurism that makes retro tech so irresistibly alive.

At its core, this DIY creation is more than a typical Bluetooth speaker. Julius Curt engineered a fully analog tape loop recorder and player with Bluetooth input, custom electronics, and a striking stainless-steel enclosure. Instead of playing streamed music directly, the device first records the Bluetooth audio onto a continuous loop of magnetic tape. The tape then travels through the playback mechanism before delivering sound through an integrated amplifier and speaker. This process infuses the music with the warm saturation, gentle hiss, and subtle pitch fluctuations that define lo-fi tape character, giving familiar digital tracks a tangible, analog soul.

Designer: Julius Makes

Magnetic tape formats, such as compact cassettes, once dominated personal audio, prized for their portability and DIY spirit. They faded from mainstream use as digital formats and streaming services rose to prominence. Yet, they have maintained a cult resurgence among audiophiles and makers who appreciate their physicality and imperfections. Curt’s project taps into this resurgence by exposing every moving part, turning what is usually hidden into the centerpiece of the experience.

The construction blends salvaged and custom components. An old cassette deck forms the foundation, but it is repurposed to drive a looped tape rather than a standard cassette reel system. Custom printed circuit boards designed in KiCad house the Bluetooth module, analog op-amps, and a TDA2030 amplifier, while a reclaimed cold-cathode fluorescent lamp serves as an analog VU meter that visually dances with the audio signal. The housing combines laser-cut acrylic, 3D-printed elements, and sheet-metal work, reflecting a high degree of craftsmanship.

Using the system is simple and engaging. After pairing a Bluetooth device and starting music playback, there is a brief delay—typically around three seconds—while the streamed signal is recorded onto the tape loop and then read back. Once the loop engages, listeners hear their chosen tracks transformed by the analog circuitry and tape path, complete with the characteristic warble and texture that tape enthusiasts seek out.

Beyond its technical novelty, the Lo-Fi Cassette Machine invites reflection on how we interact with sound. Modern streaming prioritizes clarity and convenience, often at the expense of emotional engagement with the medium. This one-off creation takes the opposite route with its unique approach, and that’s what I love.

Life-size 3D-Printed LEGO Technic dune buggy turns a classic toy Into a drivable machine

Posted on by

What usually begins as a childhood memory of snapping LEGO Technic beams together has been reimagined at full scale by maker Matt Denton, who has turned one of the most recognizable Technic sets ever produced into a life-size, fully drivable machine. By scaling the 1981 LEGO Technic 8845 Dune Buggy more than tenfold and rebuilding every component through precise 3D printing, Denton bridges the gap between nostalgic toy engineering and real-world mechanics, creating a vehicle that not only looks like its plastic counterpart but can actually be driven off the workbench and onto the road.

This is not surprising as He’s known for turning tiny models into life-sized rigs that are drivable. Denton started with the original 1981 kit, which contains 174 pieces. Rather than simply make a large display model, he redesigned the buggy with two critical changes for practical use: he scaled it up by a factor of 10.42 times, based on 50-millimeter axle bearings, and converted it into a single-seat vehicle with a center-mounted steering wheel.

Designer: Matt Denton

Every part was recreated using 3D printing. Denton used PLA filament and a belt-driven FDM printer, employing a 1 mm nozzle, two outer walls, and 10% infill to balance strength with manageability. Because of printing limitations, large plates and panels were split into smaller sections, so they would fit in the printer and to avoid warping. All curves and joints were first modeled precisely in CAD to ensure fit and performance under load. The final assembled buggy weighs about 102 kg — not light by any means, yet still light enough for hobby use. The build process reportedly took around 1,600 hours of printing and assembly, with numerous reprints required due to failed prints and printer issues.

To bring the build to life, an electric motor was mounted on the rear axle, connected via a belt-drive system. Steering is handled via a full-sized rack-and-pinion mechanism, molded as one giant LEGO-like piece, while the rear suspension arms connect over a steel tube to deliver stability. The tires themselves are printed from TPU wrapped around PLA cores, and each one weighs around 4.6 kg. They are manufactured as four quadrants for easier assembly and transport. Despite the technical hurdles, Denton succeeded as the buggy is completely drivable. During test runs, it demonstrated performance and handling that (while modest compared to a conventional motor vehicle) surpassed expectations for what began as a giant toy. That said, limitations remain as the vehicle shows signs of structural flex under load, and the electric motor setup delivers only modest power, limiting acceleration and top speed.

This project isn’t just a playful homage to a childhood classic; it’s also a demonstration of how modern 3D printing and careful engineering can push the boundaries of what’s possible, even with humble materials like PLA and TPU. It transforms a familiar childhood toy into a functional vehicle, and in doing so rekindles the wonder of imaginative play, but at a human scale. For hobbyists and builders, Denton’s dune buggy is an inspiration, as the line between toy and tool blurs, and a dream built in plastic bricks can eventually become something you can sit in and drive.

Reebok and fashion label STRICT-G deliver Gundam-inspired Instapump Fury 94 in two styles

Posted on by

Hong Kong-based phone case and accessory manufacturer CASETiFY recently launched Gundam-themed accessories. The partnership between the accessory maker and Mobile Suit Gundam reaped success during Black Friday. The festivities are far from over, and so is the consumers’ demand for anime-inspired creations. Just so that sneakerheads don’t feel left out in this time of the year, Premium Bandai’s fashion brand STRICT-G has introduced two pairs of Gundam-themed sneakers, and – if it weren’t for the franchise – I’m wondering who would need them?

My thoughts aside. STRICT-G has partnered with Reebok for the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX’ x Reebok Instapump Fury 94, which comes in two models, the “GQuuuuuuX” and the “RED GUNDAM.” There is no prize for guessing that these exclusive Instapump Fury 94 silhouettes are inspired by the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX, the latest series from the franchise.

Designer: STRUCT-G x Reebok

STRUCT-G has long been influenced and overly committed to introducing the Gundam universe to new-age fashion. Even in that breath, the Reebok collaboration really appears distinct. The level of depth and detailing on these sneakers is really beyond and above anything attempted in the footwear department in collaboration with the Japanese anime franchise before. These silhouettes don’t just wear a thematic resemblance; of course, that shouldn’t be difficult for anyone to pull off. Instead, they reimagine mobile suit aesthetics and translate them into footwear you can actually wear.

Talking of which, it’s pertinent to note that the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX’ x Reebok Instapump Fury 94 pairs will be available for preorder starting ¥27,500 JPY (approx. $180 USD) from December 12. The preorders, aimed at collectors and those who value their hands on exclusive merchandise before others, will be available through the STRICT-G Online Store within Premium Bandai only. For the others, the general release of the Gundam-inspired shoes is slated for March 2026, when the sneaker will also be available in physical stores and Reebok’s online shop.

The two sneaker styles centered around the Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX theme are impressive. The anime’s signature white, blue, and red color scheme is apparent in the GQuuuuuuX pair, which features a Pomeranian logo as a playful nod to the character within the series. The second pair is inspired by the RED GUNDAM mobile suit. Here, the segmented design of the Instapump Fury 94 is finished in red and black aesthetics.

To keep the story tied to the franchise, both silhouettes feature a mobile suit’s identifying number printed near the heel, making these footwear memorabilia and a fashion statement for fans. Of course, the thematic approach creates an aesthetic impact, but the Reebok Instapump Fury 94 in itself has a long history of innovation, which should add to the number of takers for this collaborative effort!

Kia Vision Meta Turismo is a sharp looking concept poised for the future

Posted on by

Kia always likes to celebrate its milestones with concepts that pave the way for the future of automotive design and technologies on the inside. This week is the South Korean brand’s 80th anniversary, and predictably, they’ve gone to the lengths of materializing a concept that is one of the most impressive from their design studio.
Called the Vision Meta Turismo concept, the sports sedan is not merely a design exploration; it’s their “first bold glimpse into the future of mobility.” The car was unveiled at the Kia Vision Square in Yongin, South Korea, and the future iteration of the electric vehicle (most likely it’s not going to be gasoline-powered) will be dubbed EV8. Just like the EV5 and EV6, this one is based on the Opposites United design theme, and by the look of things, is the spiritual successor to the Stinger. Vision Meta Turismo revitalizes three core experiences: performance driving, immersive driving, and spacious interiors.

Designer: Kia

Kia is categorizing the concept as a performance driving vehicle, even though they’ve not shared many technical details, we assume it is a serious contender for their premium electric lineup sometime in the future. On the outside, the car has a very sharp silhouette with soft geometric elements on the surface and natural lines. This fuses well with the aerodynamic elements like the vertical fins and embedded air channels for optimized airflow, which are inspired by the touring cars of the 1960s. A short hood is contrasted with the long, torpedo-like, elongated shape for a spacious interior that is ultra-comfy. LED strips on the front blending into the nose section edge out of the main frame, while the taillights have a more muted setup reminiscent of the current-gen electric vehicles.

On the inside, the sports sedan concept has an airy lounge-inspired cabin encapsulated in a panoramic windshield that extends to the rear like a modern fighter plane. For a dynamic look, there is a crisscross support pillar running from the A pillars that visually segments the front and the rear sections. The concept car has an upholstered driving seat, while the other seats have an upholstered off-white cloth material skin. The driver-focused interior has a matching hexagonal yoke steering wheel with gear shifters, and the dashboard is done in the same premium leather finish. The lower section of the windshield displays all the vital driver’s information in the AR Heads-Up Display (HUD). All these elements, according to Kia, “reimagine the next-generation intuitive driving interface.”

The concept has three driving modes: Speedster, Dreamer, and Gamer, which are not detailed by Kia and, in a way, are self-explanatory. Not much has been revealed by Kia, which hints that the probable EV sedan, having a long wheelbase and low profile, is going to manifest in some way as a production-ready vehicle. We are more than eager to learn more about the Vision Meta Turismo, and are sure of the fact that Kia is future-serious about this prototype.

Ecno Evil Unit-1 is rugged, off-road, and wood-free camper you can’t break

Posted on by

If you’re into pomp and show, turn back now. This camping trailer isn’t for you. But if the bare essentials are enough to make your adventures fun, read on. Before that, though, check out the video above. It’s easily the strangest promo I’ve ever seen for a trailer. Cinematically shot 4k videos of full-equipped trailers are impressive, but just wait until you see the Ecno Evil Unit-1 being smashed with wooden planks and sledgehammers. It’s one heck of a demonstration of its structural toughness.

Developed by California-based Ecno Evil, the Unit-1 is a rugged squaredrop off-roader that’s built without wood, yet designed to withstand whatever you may throw at it. The HDPE (High-Density Polyethylene) construction makes the trailer absolutely durable, lightweight, and pretty cost-effective. The cost is also achieved by keeping Unit 1 to its skeleton, with subtle functionality accents only. It avoids the unnecessary camping equipment that the makers believe adventurers already own and should not be burdened further with mandatory gear in their rig.

Designer: Ecno Evil

If you stand by the thought that you should have the choice to furnish a trailer with your own stove, portable toilet, and power backup etc., then the Unit-1 meant to provide a reliable shelter out in the wilderness, should be the trailer you are looking at. Riding behind a capable tow vehicle, it can reach where you want it, providing you with an instant space with basic necessities to live out a few days in nature most conveniently. And more, if you pack it with your cooking and sporting gear.

Of course, the minimalist design and zero-wood construction are the chief highlights of the Unit-1. But you can’t take away the fact that the trailer has an external storage area in the rear, which is detached from the living area inside and makes it a feature to behold, especially for those who fail to keep the clean interior and the soiled gear separate.

The Ecno Evil Unit-1 is not a very compact cabin; it has a 12.4-foot floor space that sits on a custom aluminum tube chassis. The body is a simple, squaredrop box without interior paneling or exterior cladding. It’s just a durable HDPE camper which, without metal or wood inclusion, is completely resistant to mold, rot, or any such durability issue. The trailer is only provided with a single door entry; the hatch is separate and has two storage units. Two windows, one with the door and the other openable just opposite, make provision of the natural lighting inside, while the 6-inch trifold mattress occupies the floor space under a roof fan and open shelves spanning the interior.

Ecno Evil makes provision for lighting both inside and outside, while providing an option 100-W solar panel and an Ecoflow power unit, if required. At its bare best, the Ecno Evil Unit-1 starts at $13,990. This would be a 4 x 8-foot floor plan. Another option is the 5 x 8-foot model, which starts at $16,490.

Timeless rotary phone reborn as modern AI-powered companion that plays music

Posted on by

Who can forget the charm of rotary phones that were a lifeline in the early ’90s and ’80s? Their iconic mechanical dialling wheel with finger holes, solid build quality, and the unique clicking sound. Everything inside the machine was mechanical and wired on the inside to make communication possible. Even after their technical innovation was surpassed by mobile phones, the appeal of these robust dialers was not forgotten.

A recent re-imagining of this nostalgic device by designer Nico Tangara, who’s impressed us with the Self-Snoozing Alarm Clock shows how enduring designs can bridge analog heritage and modern digital convenience. Tangara’s project revives a vintage rotary telephone, carefully restoring original components while removing outdated elements such as the high-voltage bell and corroded wiring, to make space for low-voltage digital hardware.

Designer: Nico Tangara

At the heart of the redesign is the original rotary dial, preserved as the primary input mechanism. Rather than simply dialing phone numbers, each pulse created by turning the dial is translated into a digital signal. This allows the dial’s mechanical action to control contemporary digital functions. The transformed device blends vintage form with modern intelligence. On the inside, a small single-board computer, which was initially a Raspberry Pi 4, was later swapped for a Raspberry Pi 2 for lighter loads, handles the digital processing. The original speaker and microphone are replaced with improved audio components connected via a USB sound card, ensuring clearer playback and compatibility with the new system.

Beyond its physical transformation, the device gains new functionality: it operates as both a music player and an AI-powered voice interface. By integrating a voice-based model (e.g., ChatGPT), speech-to-text transcription (via Whisper), and text-to-speech output (via Google TTS), the retro telephone can respond to voice commands, play music, and offer interactive voice chat. Interestingly, it can do it all while preserving the tactile nostalgia of rotary dialing phones.

The project demonstrates how old objects can find new life when design respects their identity while embracing innovation. By retaining the rotary dial, handset cradle logic, and the device’s physical essence while embedding modern electronics, the hybrid telephone becomes more than a novelty. It becomes a functional link between eras, and I’m sure people will absolutely love the idea.

In doing so, the designer’s work suggests that the past need not be discarded. Instead, elements of design that once felt obsolete can offer fresh value when rethought for contemporary contexts. The resulting hybrid device stands as a tribute to the charm of mechanical telephony and an example of how thoughtful design can merge tradition with modern technology. Perhaps the ideal starting point for budding DIYers who want to create something out of the ordinary.

Hyundai debuts a fully autonomous, production-ready droid engineered to tackle real-world tasks

Posted on by

Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB has been working on wheeled autonomous robots for some years now, with a gradual development timeline. They revealed the vision of a metamobility bot at CES 2022, which would be better than Boston Dynamics’ Spot the dog robot. The idea was just in the concept stage at the time, and coming from the South Korean giant, we knew it would be substantial when it finally arrived.

Finally, they’ve revealed the Mobile Eccentric Droid, a.k.a. MobED, a mobility robot platform tailored for a diverse range of industrial and everyday-use applications. The bot was shown off at the International Robot Exhibition 2025 (iREX 2025) in Tokyo. According to Dong Jin Hyun, Vice President and Head of Hyundai Motor Group Robotics LAB, the new robot will help “accelerate a future where humans and robots coexist.” The most exciting bit, it’ll be up for sale in the first half of 2026.

Designer: Hyundai

MobED thrives on three main pillars, which refresh our approach towards robotics. These are the Adaptive Mobility (hardware), Intuitive Autonomy (software), and Infinite Journey (applications). This makes the production-ready autonomous bot poised to reboot how robots move, navigate, and ultimately perform tasks in any setup, be it in an industrial location, unknown outdoor terrain, or narrow corridors of your home. Thereby making it perfect for a range of tasks, right from delivering your groceries and carrying gear up a mountain to acting as a golf caddy and being used for creative movie direction.

The wheeled workhorse is equipped with Hyundai’s drive-and-life (DnL) modules, which integrate steering, driving, and height adjustment into one portable unit. TI is integrated with adaptive motion technology, which eliminates any constraints that are environment-specific. All these innovations result in precise posture control to adapt to different terrains, performing difficult tasks in any kind of environment, and that too while carrying a heavy load. The modular nature of the platform makes it ultra-versatile and well worth investing in, compared to other robotics solutions that can do only a limited number of tasks owing to their form factor.

For starters, MobED will be offered in two versions: one will be a basic model that has the mobility capabilities of a current-generation bot, while the other comes with full AI autonomy and advanced navigation sensors. The latter is a pro version, and it is equipped with full AI autonomy, upgraded sensors, LiDAR, and a camera system. You’ll get a follow-me mode, so that the bot stays by your side when you are busy doing multiple tasks. Riding on four wheels doesn’t mean it is an autonomous vehicle of sorts, as it can swivel and articulate the wheels. Just like a four-legged personal bot, it can wave by cogging up its wheel. Fit on top a robotic arm, and the bot functions as warehouse personnel.

The robot is as easy to control as an RC car, since it’s equipped with a touchscreen controller. Hyundai’s robotic division has been quite serious about the future of its rolling droid development that’s been going on for quite a few years now, and the MobED Pro is now poised to change the dynamics of the robotics landscape in the near future.
