Transmission Control

Gear Changing Robot – Transmission Automation

The gear‑changing robot is a specialized automation system designed to replicate human gear‑shift actions with programmable torque, timing, and speed control. By simulating both manual and automatic transmission shifts, it enables engineers to conduct repeatable, high‑fidelity transmission testing across diverse vehicle platforms. This makes it an essential tool for OEMs, Tier‑1 suppliers, and R&D labs focused on drivetrain validation.

Applications

Transmission Durability Testing: Executes thousands of gear‑shift cycles to measure wear, tear, and long‑term reliability.

Shift‑Quality Analysis: Evaluates smoothness, timing, and torque delivery during gear transitions.

NVH Studies (Noise, Vibration, Harshness): Provides controlled gear‑shift inputs to analyze acoustic and vibration behavior.

Hybrid & EV Drivetrain Validation: Simulates gear changes in hybrid systems and tests regenerative braking coordination.

Clutch Synchronization: Works in tandem with pedal robots to replicate clutch actuation during manual gear shifts.

Autonomous Driving Research: Supports automated transmission control for ADAS and AI‑driven vehicle simulations.

Benefits

Repeatability: Provides identical gear‑shift cycles across thousands of tests, eliminating human variability.

Benchmarking Accuracy: Ensures reliable data for transmission performance, NVH, and durability studies.

Efficiency: Reduces operator workload by automating repetitive gear‑shift actions.

Compliance Assurance: Supports certification processes by delivering standardized test inputs.

Future‑Ready: Designed for hybrid and EV platforms, enabling testing of next‑generation drivetrains.

Cost Savings: Minimizes resource waste and accelerates validation timelines.

Automated Driverless Testing: Remove the Driver, Not the Precision

Driverless Validation: Automated Driverless Testing

The Automated Driverless Testing solution from ATS Group combines driving robots, sophisticated software, telemetry systems, and advanced controllers to take the human driver completely out of the vehicle. This enables accurate, repeatable testing of complex scenarios without driver variability, fatigue, or safety risks. The system is retrofittable to most vehicle types and achieves centimeter-level path following accuracy using proprietary algorithms.

Telemetry System	Real-time data relay and remote monitoring
Robot Controller Software	Coordinates all actuators for smooth, driverless operation

Calibration Services

Robot Calibrations

Keeping your driving robots in peak condition is essential for continued reliability and performance during testing. That is why ATS Group now offers ISO 17025 calibration services for steering and brake robots, along with controllers. This accreditation, granted by the UK Accreditation Service (UKAS), provides independent verification that your equipment meets internationally recognised standards for accuracy and reliability.

Calibration Process – Step by Step

Send or Schedule – Ship your robot/controller to our lab, or request on-site calibration (travel fees apply).

As-Found Measurement – We measure current accuracy against UKAS-traceable standards.

Adjustment (if needed) – We recalibrate internal sensors or update controller parameters.

As-Left Measurement – Final verification that your robot meets or exceeds manufacturer specs.

Certificate Issued – You receive a UKAS-accredited ISO 17025 calibration certificate with uncertainty budgets.
