Product overview

Capture + Review allows you to record the visual events inside and outside the vehicle with measured dynamic data. It is an essential tool for capturing the exact moment when a warning light is triggered.

Capture + Review is a video capture package that works seamlessly with our driving robots. It can record and sync video from up to four cameras and store it along with data from driving robots and other sensors like motion packs. This way, you don’t have to waste time on post-processing and manual syncing of video data. You can enjoy a seamless review experience right away.

Capture + Review also lets you combine multiple video streams with data from your driving robots and RC software screen output. You can create a single video output that shows all the data streams you need in one place. Capture + Review simplifies report generation, illustrating your data in easily understood video files. Vehicle performance can be immediately reviewed making the tool invaluable for evaluation of NCAP test scenarios.

Advanced object measurement

The ScanR from DRI is an advanced tool designed to deliver precise and consistent radar and LiDAR measurements. Utilising differential GPS/IMU and fully automatic drive and steer, it collects comprehensive 360-degree scans for the calibration and verification of various objects, including ADAS targets, VRUs, and real objects. Compliant with Euro NCAP, ISO, and SAE regulations, it ensures accurate object measurement and records the sensor’s position and orientation relative to the object. The cart is portable, lightweight, collapsible, and water-resistant, making it ideal for transport and storage.

Product overview

Flex-0 provides the interface hardware to allow vehicles to be directly controlled by AB Dynamics leading path following and driverless control software, enabling driverless testing to be performed without robots other than a safety brake actuator. By removing mechanical robots, the system is more robust to the high impacts experienced during misuse testing, reducing the risk of hardware damage.

Flex-0 uses standard CAN control messages that vehicle manufacturers interpret to control their vehicles, significantly reducing hardware costs and setup time while maintaining the confidentiality of their drive-by-wire interface from third parties.

Suitable for automated vehicle testing, Flex-0 uses precise path following accuracy, and our Synchro technology can precisely recreate simulation scenarios for correlation and validation of autonomous vehicle control systems. For driverless testing, the addition of our S-Brake system provides secondary redundant safety in line with all of AB Dynamics driverless systems to ensure in the event of an issue the vehicle will automatically come to a stop.

Product overview

The ultimate motion pack for vehicle testing, Pinpoint combines the best of OxTS technology with AB Dynamics’ expertise and innovation. Offering 2 cm position accuracy thanks to quad constellation GNSS receivers and high-performance inertial sensors, Pinpoint facilitates swift and precise measurements for a variety of vehicle tests including driverless durability and misuse, ADAS and NCAP testing.

PinPoint’s compact size and light weight allow for easy installation in vehicles, enhancing flexibility and usability during testing. The device’s compatibility with our driving robots and ADAS platforms ensures seamless integration and synchronisation, helping to streamline the testing process. With ethernet and optional CAN outputs, PinPoint has the connectivity and interfaces to accommodate diverse ADAS testing requirements.

Product overview

The AR Accelerator Robot is adjustable to fit in most vehicles and can be used in both right- and left-hand drive cars. When installed, it also allows normal driving by a driver. Used together with a steering robot and our Path Following software, the AR can reproduce the speed profile of a human driver, for example in laps of a circuit. Another typical application is the control of entry speed to a steering or braking test, with reduced throttle during the test. And like our other pedal robots, the AR is easily configured and controlled with our RC Software, which offers predefined templates for C-NCAP, Euro NCAP, JNCAP, NHTSA test scenarios and UN requirements, as well as custom options.

Product overview

Designed to complement the CBAR pedal robot range, our Clutch Robot offers precise control over position and pedal speed, with fully customisable clutch and declutch profiles. This advanced system enables manual-gearshift vehicles to be operated robotically, accommodating both driver-onboard and driverless applications. The Clutch Robot delivers precise servocontrol for accurate and repeatable position inputs.

The Clutch Robot integrates seamlessly with the Gearchange Robot for use in manual transmissions, and allows the vehicle to accelerate from stationary, stop and reverse. Manoeuvres are programmed using Robot Controller (RC) Software, which seamlessly manages the planning, execution, and review of track tests using our driving robots. With RC Software, control of clutch bite points and pull away rates is easily learned by the robot and can be combined with CAN RPM feedback to give excellent, smooth control.

Product overview

With its floor mounted actuator design, the Combined Brake and Accelerator Robot (CBAR) 600 can perform vehicle speed control tests with precision, reliability, and efficiency. Whether you need to comply with NCAP requirements, evaluate pedal feel, or explore new possibilities with driverless testing, the CBAR 600 provides accurate control of vehicle speed making it a perfect choice for any test that requires accurate, repeatable speed control.

Being controllable, versatile and user-friendly, the CBAR 600 can rapidly apply either the brake or accelerator pedals of most vehicles, and it can be easily configured and controlled with our RC Software, which offers predefined templates for for C-NCAP, Euro NCAP, JNCAP, NHTSA test scenarios and UN requirements, as well as custom options. The CBAR 600 can also be upgraded for driverless testing, and when combined with any of our steering robots the CBAR 600 becomes ideal for path following, vehicle dynamics, or brake assist testing.

Product overview

Where more brake force is needed, the Combined Brake and Accelerator Robot (CBAR) 1000 – the big brother of the CBAR 600 – has enough power for aggressive brake testing. The CBAR 1000 has been specifically designed for high-performance vehicles that require high brake forces and high pedal speeds, delivering up to 1300 N of brake force and 800 mm/s of pedal speed. With the addition of an optional safety brake, the CBAR 1000 can be used for driverless applications.

This pedal robot is also suitable for general speed control use and ADAS testing, and like the CBAR 600, the CBAR 1000 shares a floor mounted actuator design and can also be easily configured and controlled with our RC Software, which offers predefined templates for for C-NCAP, Euro NCAP, JNCAP, NHTSA test scenarios and UN requirements, as well as custom options. Not only does this functionality save time and effort for the operator but also gives more flexibility and control over test criteria.

Product overview

The Gearchange Robot enables automated control of a vehicle’s gear selector, enhancing options for driverless vehicle control. The robot can be used with automatic and manual gearboxes, selecting drive, reverse or individual gears. It can also be used for tests with a human driver onboard or for laboratory test work. Our RC software automatically coordinates the motion of the clutch, gear change, and throttle actuators to give smooth gear transitions. 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.
