TECH FOCUS:
AUTOMATED VEHICLES
Hyundai enters the metaverse
The company's new automated singlewheel
platform, PnD technology, ties
into virtual-reality and digital-twin tech
to create 'metamobility' applications.
When Facebook announced last October
that it was changing its name to Meta, most
wondered whether people would want to
spend as much time in a virtual world as
they do on the platforms browsing pics,
posts and political rants. At CES2022,
Hyundai Motor Group announced that it is
jumping into the metaverse for what it calls
" Metamobility " purposes, which potentially
could be much more beneficial for
transportation, manufacturing and society
at large than Facebook's digital playground.
Hyundai's Metamobility vision marries
emerging trends such as robotics, virtual
reality and " digital twin " technology with
the company's traditional competencies in
personal mobility and manufacturing, while
revealing how it will leverage its acquisition
last year of robot developer Boston
Dynamics. The Korean automaker unveiled
several new hardware solutions that will
help it achieve its overarching goal of
" Expanding Human Reach, " including a
linchpin Plug & Drive (PnD) modular
platform that can autonomously move
people and goods.
The PnD module is an automated,
electric-powered, single-wheel design that
incorporates motors and suspension
components as well as lidar sensors and
cameras. Hyundai says the PnD modules
" can be scaled up or down, for any purpose,
size or application, " and use " a steering
actuator for infinite wheel rotation,
meaning it can turn 360 degrees, which
enables holonomic movement, like a figure
skater. "
One platform, many applications
At CES, Hyundai showed four primary
application concepts enabled by the PnD
platform: Personal Mobility, Service
