The right steering robot for your application
With over 10 years of worldwide operation the VEHICO steering robots enjoy an increasing popularity.
Our customers have always appreciated the fact that they do not have to remove the vehicle's steering wheel.
Our leadership in behind-the-wheel steering robot technology is widely recognized, even prompting competitors to attempt replicating our distinctive design—without success.
No imitation matches the unparalleled quality, flexibility, and seamless performance of our steering robots.
- Vehicle's own steering wheel does not have to be removed
- Technology leader in Behind-the-Wheel steering robots
- Unique short installation time
The design of VEHICO steering robots guarantees that the control units are not confused by the absence of a steering wheel and that airbag deployment is guaranteed. and that airbag deployment remains guaranteed. Additionally, the design avoids any obstructive structures between the steering wheel and the driver. Moreover, these advantages come with the added benefit of exceptionally short installation times.

The right system for every application
The VEHICO steering robots can precisely and reproducibly set highly dynamic steering movements in any test vehicle. and reproducible. Common applications include skid tests (FMVSS 126 or ECE R13-H), automated driving and rollover testing. The steering robots of the latest generation are available in three different performance classes for passenger cars and two performance classes for trucks. available.

Performance Features
This is what distinguishes our steering robots
The vehicle's own steering wheel does not need to be replaced or removed.
Longsome modifications are not required, the steering robot is simply mounted to the car's steering wheel. Or to a possibly used measurement steering wheel. A special actuator steering wheel is not required. The driver can drive the equipped vehicle manually at any time.
no safety-critical structures between steering wheel and driver
There are no annoying or even safety-critical structures between the steering wheel and the driver.
quick and easy installation
Is the setup time important to you? Fast mounting to the steering wheel, strut simply with one arm to the windshield. Quick adaptation to different vehicles. We don't know of any other steering robot that can be installed that quick.
steering torque
The newest generation of VEHICO steering robots comes with steering torque measurement.
intuitive script language for easy programming
For many years VEHICO successfully uses an intuitive scripting language with which all possible profiles can be freely programmed by simple commands and associated parameters. Numerous standard profiles are preconfigured. External trigger signals can be considered as well.
record and replay steering maneuvers
You can record manually driven steering maneuvers, save them and replay them later with highest precision.
Steer-by-wire through online mode
The VEHICO steering robots come with the capability to control the desired steering wheel angle online. If you want to program e.g. your own path following or similar and want to generate the desired steering wheel angle by a superior computer, the VEHICO steering robot is able to directly control this value in the online mode.
GPS-based automatic track control
The automatic track control, sometimes also known as path following, is integrated as software option CO.Track in our steering robots. From high precision driving on a straight line to highly dynamical driving up to 1g lateral acceleration is possible with CO.Track.
multiple interfaces
Each of our systems can be equipped with a wide variety of interfaces. The most important are CAN, CAN FD, LAN, RS232, Digital In, Digital Out, Analog In, Analog Out. If the right interface for your project is not included, please contact us.
Range of Applications
A wide range of possible uses
Thanks to their exceptional versatility, our steering robots are employed in a wide range of applications:
- DIN ISO 7401: 2003 Frequency Response, Steering Angle Step, Sinus Wave Test
- ISO 13674-2:2006 On-Centre Handling Tests
- NHTSA: J-Turn, Fish-Hook Fixed Time, Fish-Hook Roll Rate Feedback
- FMVSS 126 / ECE R13-H Electronic Stability Control Systems: Slowly Increasing Steer (SIS), Sine with Dwell >>>
- NCAP Lane Support Systems: Lane Departure Warning (LDW), Lane Keeping Assistance (LKA) and EU 2021/646 >>>
- Emergency Steering Systems (ESS)
