Modular and Cost-Effective Flatbot for ADAS Testing and Euro NCAP Validation University of Modena and Reggio Emilia, Italy This paper presents the design, prototyping, and validation of a modular and cost-effective flatbot platform developed for Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) testing within Euro NCAP scenarios. The increasing de-mand for realistic and repeatable testing of vulnerable road users (VRUs), such as pedestrians and cyclists, requires mobile targets capable of accurate-ly reproducing dynamic behaviors while ensuring safety, robustness, and compliance with international standards. The proposed flatbot addresses these challenges through a scalable and modular architecture, enabling adaptability to multiple testing configurations. The system integrates a modu-lar architecture with torque vectoring control, allowing precise trajectory tracking and dynamic maneuvering. The mechanical design balances light-weight construction with impact resistance, ensuring survivability under in-teractions with the vehicle while maintaining required kinematic perfor-mance. Experimental results demonstrate that the platform meets key per-formance requirements in terms of speed accuracy, trajectory tracking, and structural integrity. The developed solution offers a viable low-cost alterna-tive to existing commercial platforms, significantly reducing implementation barriers for research and testing facilities. | |
