Based on joint research with the Research Center for Advanced Science and Technology at the University of Tokyo, engineers at Nissan Motor’s Advanced Technology Center have developed the Biomimetic Car Robot Drive, or BR23C. BR23C is a robotic micro-car that recreates bee characteristics with the goal of producing a system that prevents collisions altogether.
Nissan will unveil the project at CEATEC, Cutting-edge IT & Electronics Comprehensive Exhibition, 30 September to 4 October at Makuhari Messe outside Tokyo.
