…The unit can also connect to unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), for communications during complicated explorations or for charging TIGER’s batteries when in inaccessible locations. Key to the development effort was Hyundai’s open innovation approach. The New Horizons Studio team worked with Autodesk on lightweighting parts and components, leveraging Autodesk’s 360 Fusion and generative design capabilities to design specifically for additive manufacturing (DfAM). TIGER X-1’s legs, wheels, chassis, and tires were all concepted with generative design capabilities and then produced using carbon fiber composite AM techniques. The combination of generative design and AM was critical to helping the New Horizons team…
