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 remotized steering feedback unit to control the steering rack and receive real steering feedback via Virtual Column. 

Used independently, it delivers precise reproduction of steering torques during automated testing.

Finally, the SR can also be used to study autonomous steering functions to improve ADAS and driving automation functions.
