Take Repeatability and Safety Further in Complex Vehicle Tests
Driving robots allow engineers to automate steering, throttle, braking, gear selection, and complete path following so that test scenarios can be repeated with much higher precision than a human driver can achieve. This is especially important in ADAS, NCAP, autonomous, durability, misuse, and high-risk proving-ground programs.
Using the AB Dynamics driving robots reference, this page covers steering robot functionality, pedal robot systems, gearchange robots, automated driverless testing, and robot calibration services.
Why It Matters
Where ADAS Driving Robots Add Value
Driverless Operation
Take the driver out of the vehicle for higher safety, longer endurance runs, and more efficient track usage.
Misuse and Durability
Repeat harsh surface, obstacle, reversing, and gearbox abuse tests without exposing human drivers to repeated risk.
Traceable Accuracy
Calibration services help maintain performance, repeatability, and confidence across long-running test programs.
Product 01
Steering Robot
I treated your first requested product, written as "False", as the Steering Robot because the AB Dynamics reference page shows steering robots as the core missing product in the driving robot range. AB Dynamics states they offer one of the widest steering robot ranges in the world, including robots designed for vehicle dynamics, durability, ADAS, and AV testing.
ATS can position steering robots as the primary actuator layer for path-following, repeatable lane maneuvers, and precise steering inputs in scenarios where human variability would reduce test quality.
Product 02
Pedal Robot
AB Dynamics describes pedal robots as widely used in the automotive industry to test braking distance, tyre wear, collision avoidance, and other performance areas. Their pedal robots can be installed in almost any vehicle and can operate independently or together with steering and gearchange robots.
Their reference page and product pages also show examples such as CBAR 600 and CBAR 1000 for combined brake and accelerator control, making this category ideal for speed control, NCAP programs, brake feel work, and driverless upgrades.

Product 03
Gear Changing Robot
The AB Dynamics Gearchange Robot page says it is designed for remote, automated control of manual and automatic transmissions, selecting drive, reverse, or individual gears. The robot can be used in driver-onboard testing, driverless vehicle control, and laboratory test work.
The page also notes that AB Dynamics RC software automatically coordinates clutch, gearchange, and throttle actuators to produce smooth gear transitions. Applications listed include reverse misuse, durability of gearbox and clutch, incline driveway tests, and ADAS tests on manual vehicles that must follow a predefined speed profile.
Product 04
Automated Driverless Testing
AB Dynamics describes its Driverless Test System as a solution that uses driving robots and path following technology to guide a test vehicle along a pre-defined path with precise control of position, speed, and time. The official page says it is used for vehicle dynamics as well as durability and misuse testing.
The page also highlights continuous operation on harsh surfaces such as pothole drives, rough concrete, off-road tracks, and Belgian block, while improving safety by removing humans from the vehicle. Multi-vehicle control is another major benefit, increasing proving-ground efficiency.
Product 05
Robot Calibration
The AB Dynamics driving robots reference page highlights UKAS-accredited ISO 17025 calibration services for steering and brake robots and controllers. This accreditation provides independent verification that the equipment meets internationally recognized standards for accuracy and reliability.
For ATS customers, robot calibration is essential for traceability, long-term consistency, compliance confidence, and maintaining repeatable results across safety-critical ADAS and automation testing.

FAQs
1. What is an ADAS driving robot used for?
It is used to automate vehicle control inputs so ADAS and proving-ground scenarios can be run more accurately and repeatably.
2. Why use a pedal robot?
A pedal robot improves repeatability for braking and acceleration events and can be combined with other robots for broader automation.
3. What does a gearchange robot do?
It automates gear selection for manual, automatic, and semi-automatic transmissions during driver-onboard or driverless tests.
4. What is automated driverless testing?
It is a system that removes the driver from the vehicle and uses robots, path following, and control software to run tests remotely.
5. Why is robot calibration important?
Calibration ensures the robot system continues to deliver the accuracy, traceability, and reliability required for trusted test results.
6. Can ATS help define the right robot combination?
Yes. ATS can help align steering, pedal, gearchange, driverless, and calibration needs to your ADAS or durability testing objective.
