Pedal Robots

Our pedal robots are widely used by leading organisations in the automotive industry for testing and validating various aspects of vehicle performance, such as braking distance, tyre wear, collision avoidance and more. Designed to be installed in almost any vehicle, pedal robots can operate either independently or in combination with other driving robots, such as steering and gearchange robots. They can also be integrated with driving simulators and our laboratory test equipment, allowing seamless transfer of data between virtual and real-world testing.

Automate Steering with Accuracy

Enable Smart Steering

Gear Changing Robot

Gearchanging Robot can be used with manual, automatic and semi-automatic gearboxes. In vehicles with manual gearboxes, it can either act as a pseudo automatic selector, changing gear according to speed and throttle inputs, or it can follow a defined gear sequence. Robot Controller (RC) software automatically coordinates the motion of the clutch, gearchange and throttle actuators to give smooth gear transitions.

Automated driverless testing

Automated Driverless Testing

The Automated Driverless Testing solution leverages our driving robots, sophisticated software, telemetry systems and advanced controllers. This solution takes the driver out of the vehicle for more efficient and effective testing. Enabling accurate and repeatable testing of vehicles in complex scenarios without the need for a human driver, the driverless system can be retrofitted to most types of vehicles. The system uses precise speed control and path following algorithms to navigate a predetermined route achieving centimetre-level accuracy.

The solution supports durability and misuse testing, mileage accumulation testing, and many other advanced applications while improving safety, efficiency, reliability, and repeatability.

Robot Calibrations

Keeping your driving robots in peak condition is essential for continued reliability and performance during testing. That is why ATS Group now offers ISO 17025 calibration services for steering and brake robots, along with controllers. This accreditation, granted by the UK Accreditation Service (UKAS), provides independent verification that your equipment meets internationally recognised standards for accuracy and reliability.

FAQs

1. What is a steering robot in a car?

A steering robot is an automated system that precisely controls the steering wheel to simulate driver inputs during vehicle testing and development.

2. Why are steering robots used?

They ensure accurate, repeatable, and consistent steering inputs, which are essential for reliable testing and validation.

3. Where are steering robots used?

They are used in automotive R&D, vehicle dynamics testing, ADAS and autonomous vehicle development, plus test tracks and laboratories.

4. Can steering robots be integrated with other sensors?

Yes, they can be synchronized with data loggers, GPS systems, and various sensors for complete vehicle analysis.

5. Is installation of a steering robot complex?

Modern steering robots are designed for quick and secure mounting, making installation relatively simple in test environments.

6. Are steering robots compatible with all vehicles?

Most systems are designed to be adaptable to different vehicle types, but compatibility may vary depending on the setup.
