Hyundai is making progress in its choice of new mobility products encapsulated by the MobED mobility platform. The MobED is a four-wheeled robot that is designed to carry everyday loads and it has a top speed of 30km/h. The Hyundai MobED concept was first announced during CES in January this year and the company has now released a press statement outlining some details of the new four-wheeled robot. The MobED is designed to carry everyday parcels and also it can carry humans.

The MobED has a dimension of 67x60cm, with four independently controlled 12-inch pneumatic tires and a solid suspension system. The suspension system of the MobED accommodates the tilting of the central platform in any direction. This helps the MobED to keep goods level while navigating through angular surfaces like a ramp or slope. Hyundai is conceptualizing some innovative applications of the MobED vehicle.

The South Korean automaker hints that the robot could be used as a personal caddy and several industrial applications. Indeed, Hyundai plans to sell the MobED to industrial partners who may then adapt it to their specific mobility needs. It can also be scaled up for use as a mobility device for the elderly or physically challenged, as well as a stroller or leisure vehicle.

The MobED has a battery life of 4 hours although several important details about the actual mobility mechanism deployed in the robot are still lacking. The pricing and release date for the MobED is yet to be released by Hyundai.
