Concept Vehicle
We finally have our concept ready for the Prototype One. Yea!
The vehicle itself is a novel design having 2 front and 1 rear wheel capable of zero turning radius. It will be 2 meters long and the wheel configuration gives us stability with excellent steering capabilities. The initial prototype will target a 200 km range and the machine will be powerful enough to handle a 15 degree slope with ease.
The cargo hold is covered in the concept model as of now but should be customisable depending on what the end customer desires. A key theme at Ati is that as a B2B company, how much flexibility can we offer to our customers. The vehicle has to be a platform in the physical sense in addition to the digital sense too.
We are making a Prototype Zero (P0)right now which just has the three wheels on a chassis but this concept has informed the current design. The outer dimensions, steering control and power of the motors is the same as what Prototype One (P1)will have. P0 will become our physical testing platform for many of our algorithms that are running on simulations right now. Real world testing of P0 should also help situate individual components together and iterate on the final design for P1.
The next post should see P0 in action.
