STRIDE Platform
STRIDE™ (Small Test Robot for Individuals in Dangerous Environments) is a low-profile and overrunable robotic platform designed for carrying Vulnerable Road User (VRU) soft target manequins, such as pedestrians and bicyclists, for ADAS and intelligent vehicle evaluation or development. STRIDE™ is ideal for customers wishing to evaluate vehicle performance in scenarios including multiple mobile VRUs.
Key features include:
- Turning in place for realistic pedestrian motion
- RTK-GPS for accurate localization
- Supports pedestrian and bicyclist targets
- Subject vehicle triggering based on speed or position
- Over-runnable by passenger vehicles
- Top speed of 20 kph (12.4 mph)
- Open-source software using ROS, allowing customization and integration with other systems. Suitable for applications beyond automotive testing, including research and education
- GUI software available on computers and mobile devices to control the robot
- Simple and flexible test setup with Python scripting to instruct the robot
- Wireless E-stop allows test operator mobile control of robot, with minimal equipment overhead
- Hot-swappable battery
- Ability to hold on grades up to 30%
