Our pedal robots can be used on their own or combined with a steering robot to provide full control of a vehicle. The brake robot range is used by vehicle manufacturers, brake and tyre suppliers to test and validate vehicle braking performance.

The Combined Brake and Accelerator Robot (CBAR) is the most widely used pedal robot, allowing precise vehicle speed control as well as brake or throttle inputs. The CBAR can be upgraded with a backup safety brake system for use in driverless testing.

The range also includes a throttle robot and a clutch robot which can be combined with a gear-shift robot. As with all AB Dynamic's driving robots, pedal robots can be quickly installed in almost any vehicle, making them ideal for benchmarking competitor vehicles.

CBAR - an essential tool in the development of test procedures

The AB Dynamics CBAR is the pedal robot of choice for the organisations that determine tomorrow's test procedures. Tests can be programmed to include accurate control of the vehicle's speed in combination with other pedal actions, allowing the creation of complex procedures. All of the seven Euro NCAP labs use the CBAR, along with NHTSA in the USA and Transport Canada.

Our Range of Pedal Robots

CBAR600

ADAS testing and durability

Max brake force 750N

Upgradeable for driverless testing

The CBAR600 is the best-selling of our range of pedal robots, used in a wide range of applications. It\'s the standard choice for AEB testing and other ADAS tests, and also the easiest way to add speed control to a vehicle dynamics test.

CBAR600L

Versatile robot for brake tests and speed control

Max brake force 1300N

Upgradeable for driverless testing

The CBAR600L is a development of the original CBAR with a lower actuator height. This makes it more comfortable for a driver, especially in vehicles with lower seating positions.

CBAR1000

Controls throttle position or vehicle speed

Can be combined with BR1000

Max force 150N

Where more brake force is needed, choose the CBAR1000 - the big brother of the CBAR600. It has enough power for aggressive brake testing, and the CBAR1000 is also suitable for general speed control use and ADAS testing.

RBR600 brake robot

Ideal for aggressive brake stop testing

Highest speed and force from rotary actuator

Max force 1600N

The smallest brake robot allows accurate control of braking inputs up to a lower force level, using the same motor as in the CBAR600. It is our lowest-cost brake robot.

RBR1500

Ideal for ADAS testing

Lower-profile actuator for improved driver ergonomics

Similar performance to CBAR600

Tests such as the AMS Brake Fade procedure require a very high pedal force and apply rate. The RBR1500 is the perfect tool for the job, with an ultra-powerful rotary actuator capable of pushing the pedal faster and harder than most human drivers.

AR1 accelerator robot

Lower cost actuator for brake testing

Compact and lightweight rotary actuator

Max force 750N

The AR1 was the original tool for controlling throttle position and vehicle speed (before the CBAR was designed). It is the lowest-cost way of adding simple speed control to a steering robot system and can also be combined with a BR1000.
