hyundai reveals ‘mobile eccentric droid’ (MobEd) ahead of cES’22
ahead of CES 2022, hyundai reveals the mobile eccentric droid (MobED) — a curious looking, four-wheeled robot that can carry virtually anything from point A to B. the MobED is equipped with 3 motors, weighs 50kg, and features an extendable wheelbase that adjusts to speed. the mobile droid also includes adaptable steering functions to keep it balanced on rough surfaces. coupled with a 2 kWh battery capacity and 12-inch tires, the MobEd becomes a ‘passe-partout’ butler that can complete 4-hour rides at up to 30km/h when fully charged.

discover the fun ways that the mobile droid can serve you
in their playful video launch, the hyundai team breaks out some unusual — and equally funny — examples of how the mobile eccentric droid can be of use. from delivering packages to carrying a baby stroller and even serving a pyramid of champagne glasses, the possibilities go on. another example shows the four-wheeled robot holding a digital screen while a woman works out — displaying her vital stats and tracking her progress. starting january 5, 2022, the MobED will be on display at hyundai’s CES booth in las vegas.
