The UNI-ONE is a battery-powered self-balancing device that can be controlled by the user’s body weight. It has two modes: a low mode and a high mode. In the low mode, the UNI-ONE can be used to move around slowly and carefully. In the high mode, the UNI-ONE can be used to move around more quickly and easily.
Moreover, it can be controlled by a user who is located anywhere in the world. The user wears a special headset and gloves that allow them to see and feel what the robot is seeing and feeling — an amazing function that allows the user the ability to perform tasks remotely as if they were there in person.It could be used in disaster relief to perform dangerous or difficult tasks in disaster zones, such as searching for survivors or clearing rubble.
The Honda e-MTB Concept expands the field of mobility in nature, offering a new riding experience that combines the fun of motorcycles and mountain bikes. It is being developed to enable anyone to enjoy riding mountainous trails more freely, with electric assistance that makes uphill riding a breeze.
