Bosch introduced the Source:

«Smart» stroller only looks no different OOM usual

Today, a growing number of different devices is rapidly «smarter», providing users with all new features. And if the «smart» clock we used to, «smart» columns there are already a lot of people, and the term «» began to be perceived as something ordinary, something that's more specific «smart» the device still cause genuine interest. For example, «smart» stroller from Bosch. Than it is remarkable? And how it differs from conventional strollers? Let's deal.

What «smart» stroller?

Strictly speaking, if you look at this stroller, you first sight the specific differences in design may not notice. got the name eStroller and it incorporates a pair of electric motors. But if you think that the stroller will move itself, it is not so. Yes, and there is hardly a conscious parent, which will allow the robot to walk with a baby. At least not yet.

But I digress: the motors are intended primarily to assist in the movement of the stroller. That is, one who manages it will have to exert less effort when driving. For example, the system will help to push a stroller uphill or take a brake. In addition, eStroller embedded a series of sensors to analyze road surface, the tilt of the earth's surface and environment.

Looks very futuristic stroller

These sensors will help, as stated by the creators of «to prevent movement of the wheelchair in unexpected directions» if a parent suddenly distracted, and contribute to redistribution of energy to assist in movement. For example, when there is an obstacle, the wheelchair will slow down and the road of gravel will add momentum to the stroller was easier to push forward. Of course, if the wheelchair runs out of power, no one forbids you to push it and without any auxiliary systems.

How «» stroller

As the power supply components are interchangeable 18-volt lithium-ion battery. Exactly the same that are used in power tools from Bosch today. Besides the fact that they are quite comfortable to charge them more convenient to replace in the event of a failure. As they are not too expensive. While the system described above help you manage — is far from the only one that can boast Bosch. On the body is also a port that can charge your device and also the Bluetooth module to pair with your gadget.

With the help of a special application, you can check the remaining battery charge, the distance traveled, to learn about the system of assistance in the management, as well as set «anti-theft system». This kind of alarm (or siren, if you want) that will only work if the wheelchair is too far from the connected device or if a connection is broken abruptly.

It is Noteworthy that to sell eStroller will not. Instead, it was signed an agreement with the Swedish company Emmaljunga. It is planned to produce not only single, but double, and possibly triple «smart» strollers. The output of the first batch is scheduled for early 2020. But so far only in Sweden. The cost of carriage is not yet known.
