Protected Design
You want to be seen in one!
The key of the project is to respond positively to human desires and the needs of our surroundings. This means first to design a service and object that people are attracted to, that they want to be seen in. That they love. And it also means designing something that engages in a positive way with it’s suroundings.
The design of the Mobjects is an expression of this balance. With a concrete base plate as low as a curbstone, wooden seating and vertical translucent screens and a light horizontal carbon roof they mimic architectural elements of their environments and blend right in. And their stylistic refinement and eye for detail gives them a human touch and a feeling of progress that so often lacks in current AGV systems.
Mobjects are only used for short distances and therefore have no doors for easy ingress and egress. The absence of doors also cuts drastically costs and energy consumption ( no need to cool or heat a close cabin ).
Because the type of use is highly depending on the culture and particularities of the city it is introduced to, the design is done in such a way that adaptations are easy.
KEY DESIGN FEATURES
Mimetic Design
Protected Archetypal design that integrates perfectly into urban and architectural contexts.
Public Canvas
Integrated LED screen that functions as public canvas for cities or interactive advertising panel.
Flat Solar Roof
Flat roof with integrated solar cells offers protection and energy autonomy. Integrated handles allow to easily hop on or off, ‘San Francisco Tram Style’.
Skateboard chassis
Drivetrain, computing unit and battery pack are condensed into a low skateboard type base with Ultra High Performance Concrete ( UHPC ) cover that matches sidewalks heights and integrates perfectly into streets.
Light Beacon
The integrated light strip functions as indicator and signal light when moving, while serving as a light beacon when standing still
Tech Embedded
The architectural overall design is combined with technological refinement. The ‘Cyclops Eye’ combines Radars, lights, microphone and an speaker.
Easy Clean
Mobjects are designed to be cleaned and maintained easily. There are no unreachable spots where dirt or trash can accumulate.
Designed for flat pack shipping. Assembly and even parts of production can easily be done locally.
Doorless layout and single-curvature surfaces reduce drastically moulding costs and guarantee easy adaptability.
All materials are very durable and extremely wear-resistant. They are inspired by public spaces, not cars.
