The AB Dynamics gearshift robot can be used with manual, automatic and semi-automatic gearboxes

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.

Standalone or part of the driverless test system

The gearshift robot consists of two servo-actuators driving a vertical arm. The end of each arm is attached via a tie-rod to the gear-stick, allowing for the gear stick to be moved in the two horizontal axes.

A human driver can sit in the driver's seat and drive the car manually with the gearchange and clutch robots installed. Our gearshift and clutch robots can be used on their own or in conjunction with our other driverless test systems.
