Hello all, thank you for reading my post. Please do not hesitate to give me feedback and ask further questions.
The Design Age Institute (part of the Royal College of Art) is collaborating with Centaur Robotics. The company has developed a self balancing vehicle which is compact and manoeuvrable. You can see the vehicle on their website www.centaurrobotics.com Production is anticipated to commence mid 2021 and the company is now looking to implement features that will allow autonomous control to provide social distancing.

For instance those are some question I would like to ask you:
You can also get directly in touch with me at <moderator removed - pending review>

Many thanks in advance,
Juliette
