Japanese scientists have taught a robot to drive a car

It is reported that Japanese engineers have conducted experiments and taught the robot Musashi to drive a small single-seat Toyota COMS car.

The robot, sitting in the driver’s seat without additional devices, was able to rotate the steering wheel with two hands.

He pressed the gas and brake pedals, accelerating to a preset speed of 5 km/h and braking when pedestrians appeared.

The trained robot also reacted in time to traffic signals and other cars.

In the future, engineers want to teach the robot to get into the car and build a route on its own.

Autonomous driving is usually associated with unmanned cars, but scientists want to use humanoid robot drivers.

This method has a number of advantages, as they can potentially perform other tasks.

For example, they can carry heavy objects, do housework and help the elderly.
