Rugged Terrain-Tackling Robots

The Hyundai 'TIGER X-1' will Move with Ease

— February 10, 2021 — Tech
The Hyundai 'TIGER X-1' has been shown off as a concept by the Hyundai Motor Group as a futuristic solution that would enable explorers and researchers alike to easily traverse rugged terrain. The robot features a series of strong legs and a durable chassis that would enable the Ultimate Mobility Vehicle (UMV) to move with purpose over any uneven surface. This would make it ideal for natural environments, alien landscapes or anywhere else and would also be well-suited for 360-degree surface evaluation.

The Hyundai 'TIGER X-1' is expected to be prototyped in the next few years with a purchasable unit about five years out from now. The mobility robot will also be evolved into a passenger vehicle to help further extend its capabilities.
Trend Themes
1. Rugged-terrain Robots - The development of durable and strong-legged robots for traversing various kinds of terrains provides an opportunity for companies to explore new areas and increase efficiency in logistics and transportation.
2. Ultimate Mobility Vehicles (umvs) - The emergence of ultimate mobility vehicles (UMVs) presents opportunities for companies to develop highly agile, all-terrain vehicles that can be used in a wide range of industries and applications.
3. Autonomous Explorers and Researchers - The increasing use of autonomous and self-navigating robots is creating opportunities for companies to develop new technologies and solutions that can support research and exploration in a range of terrains and environments.
Industry Implications
1. Logistics and Transportation - The development of rugged and all-terrain robots can transform the logistics and transportation industry by easing transportation in hard-to-reach locations or mitigating the risk of accidents.
2. Military and Defense - The use of UMVs and rugged-terrain robots can provide a valuable solution to support military and defense operations in hard-to-reach and dangerous locations.
3. Robotics and Autonomous Systems - As the use of autonomous vehicles increases, the robotics industry has a significant opportunity to develop more robust and efficient systems for a wide range of applications.
