CO.ACT – Driving Robots For Vehicle Testing

The driving robots for steering, gas, brake, clutch and gearshift are subsumed in the class CO.ACT.

All driving robots can be operated standalone or in combination. Each robot offers multiple control modes, which can be used right away without complicated parameterizing. You can switch between the control modes within a test run to cover most comfortably your indivudual test requirements. Thanks to an intuitive scripting language all driving robots offer extremely high flexibility to program desired manoeuvers. Standardized tests are naturally available as templates. An online input of the desired values is possible for all driving robots as well.

According to our philosophy all robots can be mounted in diverse cars in a very short time. A driver can still freely sit in the vehicle and operate it in the usual way.

Driving robots from VEHICO are standing for highest precision and reproducibility on the test track – worldwide!

Range of Application

All systems are either individually or in combination available. Simple actuation of the steering wheel, the pedals or the gearshift lever can be realised as well as complex trajectories, such as a precisely defined steering maneuver during a braking, acceleration or gearshift process. Such tests are used in various areas of experimental vehicle development, e.g.

• chassis development (Pulse Steer, Sine Steer, Fishhook, etc.)
• automation of roller dynamometer test benches
• unit tests in test labs
• etc.
