SR
The Steering Robot (SR) is a highly versatile and high-performance direct-drive steering actuator.
Within a simulation station equipped with a HiL system such as EPSiL, it can be used in combination with a TA (Torque Actuator) unit to control the steering rack and receive real steering feedback via the Virtual Column mechanism.
Conversely, used alone in a simulation station, it can provide steering torques estimated from virtual vehicle models.
Finally, the SR can also be used to study autonomous steering functions to improve ADAS and driving automation functions.
