University of Tokyo Develops Humanoid Robot for Autonomous Driving

Jun 12, 2024, 10:35 PM

Researchers at the University of Tokyo have developed a humanoid robot capable of driving cars, exploring a new approach to autonomous driving. This innovative method leverages the robot's musculoskeletal body and learning system, presenting a potential way to retrofit non-autonomous vehicles with autonomous capabilities. While it may not be the most practical solution compared to existing technologies like @comma_ai, it offers a unique and experimental pathway for autonomous driving. The robot's cautious driving style, however, indicates that it is still a work in progress.
