Starting today onwards (27 October) until 24 November 2016, Malaysians will have an opportunity to take a ride on Honda’s personal mobility device, the UNI-CUB β, at ISETAN The Japan Store in Lot 10 Shopping Centre.
Between the collaboration between Honda Malaysia and ISETAN The Japan Store, the public can have a first-hand experience of this Honda advanced technology through a ten-minute ride on the UNI-CUB β. The ride-on sessions will start from 11AM until 9PM every day until 24 November, which is located at Ground Floor in Lot 10 Shopping Centre.
Not particularly a new invention, as the UNI-CUB was first evolved from the U3-X which was demonstrated in Honda’s showcase during Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show (KLIMS) in 2010. Introduced in May 2012, the UNI-CUB was designed to give an ease of control and a high degree of mobility to riders in barrier-free indoor environments such as offices, shopping mall, airport, museum and library.
Then in 2013, Honda announced the enhanced version, the UNI-CUB β to be even more user-friendly for a wider range of people. Being smaller and lighter than its previous version, some parts were adopted to enhance the senses of unity of the user with the UNI-CUB β.
With the freedom of movement going forward, backward, side-to-side and diagonally by shifting body weight, this is all thanks to the balance control technology of UNI-CUB β which is a part of the Honda Robotics family of technologies, which originates from Honda's research into humanoid robots, including ASIMO.
