Why IPA2X?
Challenge
Road traffic injuries continue to represent a significant challenge. This places further pressure on the most vulnerable mobility groups: children, the elderly, and people with disabilities.
Our solution:
Intelligent pedestrian assistant robot IPA2X
IPA2X is the result of an alliance between European living labs, research institutes, and OEMs on improving pedestrian crossings and assessing the user acceptance of robots.
IPA2X will help children, the elderly, and people with disabilities to safely cross the street.
