tokyo robotic startup  ZMP inc has announced the release of ‘RoboCar G’, a one seater electric vehicle intended for researchers who want to work with the next-generation of autonomous cars. a series of sensors including a laser range finder, a stereo camera, a GPS (global positioning system), an IMU (inertial measurement unit), a miliwave radar and a sonar sensor can be mounted onto this 211 pound minicar. the sensors will help the car operate as a computer-controlled ‘robot vehicle’. moreover, it will run using a lithium-ion battery on a brushless DC electric motor at a top speed of 37 mph.
