The RoboTest unmanned vehicle intelligent test platform

SAIC-GM has introduced a cutting-edge vehicle testing system called the RoboTest unmanned vehicle intelligent test platform, revolutionizing how cars are researched and developed. This innovative platform was launched in 2020 and is now in widespread use.

The RoboTest platform comprises two main components: the vehicle-side controller and the cloud control center. The vehicle-side controller integrates a driving robot system and advanced perception equipment, designed to be easily installed and removed without altering the vehicle's original structure. Meanwhile, the cloud control center allows for remote configuration, real-time monitoring, and management of test specifications and data analysis, ensuring thorough and accurate testing procedures.

Unlike traditional methods, the RoboTest platform utilizes robotic systems for testing, offering superior precision and durability. This technology significantly boosts test quality and efficiency, ensuring consistent performance across vehicle models. By eliminating human errors and equipment inaccuracies, it enhances the reliability of critical tests like endurance, hub rotation endurance, and airbag calibration.

Currently, the RoboTest platform is extensively employed across various testing environments at SAIC-GM's Pan Asia Automotive Technology Center. It covers bench tests such as durability, noise, emissions, and performance, as well as road tests under controlled conditions like Belgian roads and stability handling tests.

This versatile platform accommodates testing requirements for SAIC-GM's entire range of models and many competitor vehicles. It has garnered recognition from industry professionals and promises to expand into more test scenarios in the future.

SAIC-GM's adoption of the RoboTest platform underscores its commitment to advancing automotive technology. By embracing intelligent testing methods, the company aims to set new industry standards in vehicle testing and certification. This initiative not only highlights SAIC-GM's dedication to innovation but also paves the way for a new era of automotive development.
