Robot driver systems break cover

摘要

Both Anthony Best Dynamics (ABD) and Froude Consine have released details of their automatic robot driver systems. The ABD computer-controlled steering robot is a spin-off from the company's suspension parameter measurement machine, which has been installed in both the UK and the US. It provides steering inputs during track testing of vehicles. This process that has traditionally been carried out manually, but there are considerable difficulties in ensuring that accuracy and repeatability are maintained. As a. result it is difficult to obtain meaningful comparisons between different vehicles and vehicle configurations.
