Driving Robots for Automotive Testing, Validation, and Driverless Applications

Repeatable steering, throttle, clutch, brake, and gear-change control for durability, ADAS, vehicle GSR compliance testing, mileage accumulation, and driverless vehicle testing.

ATS IPL Driving robot automotive testing system

Precision Control for Repeatable Vehicle Testing

Modern vehicle development needs controlled actuation, repeatable inputs, and dependable performance across demanding driving conditions. Driving robots operate steering, throttle, clutch, and brake controls with high precision, reducing variation caused by human drivers.

ATS IPL supports OEMs, test houses, and development teams with robotic solutions for durability testing, braking validation, mileage accumulation, ADAS testing, and autonomous vehicle development.

Pedal Robots for Brake, Throttle, and Clutch Control

A pedal robot precisely controls brake, throttle, and clutch inputs during automotive testing. It is used for braking distance measurement, tyre wear validation, collision avoidance testing, and durability programs.

Controlled actuation ensures each test run follows the same input profile. Pedal robots can operate independently or alongside steering and gear-change robots in advanced vehicle test environments.

ATS IPL Gear changing robot for vehicle testing

Repeatable Transmission and Gear Shift Testing

A gear changing robot supports manual, automatic, and semi-automatic transmissions with smooth, repeatable gear shifts. In manual gearbox applications it can follow a defined sequence or act as a pseudo-automatic selector based on speed and throttle inputs.

Combined with pedal and steering robots, it creates an integrated test setup for transmission validation, efficiency testing, and repeatable vehicle development scenarios.

Automated Driverless Testing for Safer Validation

Automated driverless testing controls the route and speed with high precision, allowing testing without a driver in the vehicle. Driving robots, advanced controllers, telemetry systems, and software support centimetre-level path following accuracy.

This solution can be retrofitted to a wide range of vehicles and is ideal for durability, misuse, and mileage accumulation programs where consistent route execution and reduced labour dependency are important.

Robot Calibration for Measurement Integrity

Regular robot calibration maintains the performance and reliability of driving robots. ISO 17025 calibration services for steering and brake robots support precision, compliance, traceability, and quality assurance.

Proper calibration is part of measurement integrity, helping OEMs and test facilities achieve repeatable results and dependable validation data.

Driving Robots for ADAS Testing and Vehicle GSR Compliance

The EU General Safety Regulation (EU) 2019/2144 requires advanced safety systems such as emergency braking, lane-keeping, intelligent speed assistance, and driver drowsiness and attention warning on new vehicles. Vehicle GSR compliance testing needs repeatable, accurately controlled vehicle inputs. ATS IPL driving robots and steering robots deliver consistent speed, steering, and braking profiles, so ADAS test scenarios can be repeated run after run and compared reliably.

Used with ADAS soft targets and platforms, they support pre-compliance and validation testing for ADAS functions covered by GSR and related UN Regulations. For exact test procedures, refer to the applicable regulation and approval authority.
