Biomega founder Jens Martin Skibsted has created NemBot, a concept for convoys of electric driverless vehicles to transport goods and patients around cities in isolation pods.
The Non-Emergency Medical Transportation (NEMT) system was created by a team led by Skibsted at design consultancy Manyone in response to the coronavirus pandemic.
NemBot would allow people such as asthma or cancer patients to be moved around a city in their own quarantined cabins without putting key workers at risk.

Skibsted designed the NemBots during the coronavirus lockdown as a response to what he called "very old school and rudimentary" urban mobility solutions for NEMT and cargo delivery.
Typically, this type of transportation allows those who suffer from conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer and asthma to be taken safely to their appointments, or enables the delivery of medical supplies. "When Covid-19 hit, we realised that many of the freight issues were the same ones that prohibited a good mobility response to the pandemic," said the Danish designer.
"The existing solutions just clog up the city and pollute and hinder economic development," he added.

As a concept, NemBot reimagines both freight and non-emergency medical transport as convoys of six small electric vehicles. Skibsted imagined the pod caravan structured "lego brick-like" in two rows of three.
These NemBots would be attached to a single human-operated vehicle, occupying les...
