The MIL project, winner of the Yvelines General Council's "Urban Vehicle - City of the Future" call for projects, was presented on October 7, 2013. It brought together MUSES, INDUCT and LIVIC (an IFSTTAR laboratory) to implement two automatic functions with a 100% electric Mooville vehicle:

  • Automatic valet parking for driverless vehicles.
  • Platooning enables a single driver to move an entire fleet of vehicles. A robotic arm, an integral part of the Mooville vehicle, links the vehicles together to form a train. Each vehicle adapts its behavior to that of the lead vehicle, ensuring monotrace tracking.

CAR&D has designed trajectory tracking control laws providing for redundancy, with :

  • A loop using the leader's steering information
  • A loop only internal to the following vehicle.

  • OceanWings sail from AYRO on Canopée

    As this history video reports, the magnificent Canopée boat using AYRO OceanWings sails was first prototyped on a small scale. https://youtu.be/2t8NGhnZl0I This Proof-of-Concept can be found in the next line of our 2016 news.

    A Proof of Concept is indeed the physical demonstration of the viability of the essential principle of the concept, while temporarily neglecting all that is secondary and a priori feasible. Ma Jun (237 A.D.) masterfully defined the demonstrator's approach with this sentence: "Empty arguments with words can in no way compare with a real trial that will show practical results".
