Designers and engineers tasked with these “lightweight” challenges frequently look to futuristic materials such as metallic foams, carbon fiber, and new metal alloys, along with modern design techniques such as generative design, for solutions.
Operating at one of the epicenters of global innovation–the region that Apple, Google, Tesla, Twitter, and Stanford call home–Suh is well-positioned to spearhead one of Hyundai Motor Group’s more futuristic approaches to addressing these challenges. Hyundai’s New Horizons Studio believes that the combination of driven wheels and powered legs will result in ground vehicles with unprecedented locomotion capabilities.
The studio aims to contribute to Hyundai Motor Group’s core automotive business as it seeks to expand into new markets that enhance transportation on and off the road.
