Mobile platform for comma three. It is a robot development kit that can operate the open source driving support system "openpilot" with a track record of over 100 million hours of use.The slim body is simple and does not feel oppressive, and is small (kids size) at 142 cm including the head. Broadcast with sub-265ms delay via H100 encoder.

It integrates on-board Kalman filter position estimation, IMU and camera odometry to determine 3DoF (device orientation and location information).On the software side, the car can be balanced and driven via a web interface.It is also possible to control freely with a smartphone.

In the future, the manufacturer aims to establish a robot locomotion that can move autonomously by adding two arms and one knee joint.
* Arms and knees are expected to be released in 2023
