DESIGN NAME: OIO - AUTO WORK INDUSTRY INC.
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Doomsday Vehicle
INSPIRATION: When I was young, I had a car accident with a roundabout! The car got damaged severely, but the wheel was intact. So, I've got an idea to make a car in the shape of a circle. Two decades later, I was accompanying my father to a hospital for his knees, he was weak and crouch into the taxi for him was a painful task. I suddenly realized we’ve been kidnapped by auto manufacturers for years, what we need is a vehicle that can comfortably serve and easily used for elderlies, minors, or family with children to travel with. We should redesign a vehicle that can be strong and comfortable to serve as the last mile solution!!
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: A floatable and tandem-able chassis can be disassembled and packed with ease while holding the integrity a vehicle needs. 2. Multiple suspension logic with a concentric radial design. 3. Active hydraulic suspensions can act as an actuator to perform vehicle pod movements during the game mode. 4. Intervehicle network, our vehicle's structure acts as a giant antenna, each vehicle acts as an individual signal router. 5. Distributive manufacturing, OiO uses ancient wisdom of origami and dovetail to build. In the future, the vehicle will be manufactured and serviced locally.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: OiO operates on driving and gaming modes. VCU Driving mode, the driver is controlling the vehicle by a joystick alike gadget that is connected to the Vehicle Control Unit process provide the power output of two wheels according to driver’s will. GCU Gaming mode is a mode that turns the cabin into a gaming space. Four hydraulic suspensions become actuator that syncs in movements according to the game controller's content. UI, two transparent LCD screens are located at two sides of the window, acts as infotainment and control gadget for vehicle status and digital contents.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: the project started in late 2012 in Taiwan, and Giant circular form was finalized in late 2014 by Hsueh-Cheng Huang. Motion logic and structure was finalized in 2016. Team and control logic with 1:1 sample were realized and built in 2017 till now. 90% of the project is designed and executed locally in Taiwan.
