Nissan is a robot EPORO, able to avoid collisions.

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd. represents robotic concept EPORO using technology that allows cars to move in the flow, mimicking the behavioral model of shoals of fish, the envelope of the obstacles and avoid collisions with each other. "We are working in the automotive industry, a lot you can learn from the fish in terms of freedom of movement and security within the jamb, as well as in terms of efficiency of traffic jamb in general. Working on EPORO, we have reproduced the behavior of shoals of fish, making full use of modern electronic technology, - said Toshiyuki Ando, manager of the laboratory study of the movement Nissan and chief engineer of the project. - By sharing information about their surroundings with the other members of the movement, several EPORO can safely travel together, if necessary, changing the configuration of the group. " The world's first robot car is able to move in a group with others, to change the situation and exchange information with other members of the movement with special communication systems. Nissan demonstrates this unique technology on the example of a group of six robots EPORO, who first brought before the audience at the exhibition CEATEC JAPAN 2009, held in Tokyo on October 6-10.
