Introduction to Autonomous Robotic Platforms (ARP) Used for Testing of ADAS systems

Tento článek vznikl za podpory interního projektu na podporu studentských vědeckých konferencí SVK-2018-005 a projektu SGS-2018-001: Výzkum a vývoj elektronických a komunikačních systémů ve vědeckých a inženýrských aplikacích, dále ve spolupráci se společností Valeo Autoklimatizace k. s. v Praze (projekt: Příležitosti pro Studenty – Valeo R&D Program).In this paper, flat and overrunable autonomous robotic platforms (ARP) used for the testing of ADAS systems in automotive are described. In the beginning there is an explanation of ARP and ADAS systems. Then the design possibilities to improve such ARP are introduced (e.g. omnidirectional movement, different possibilities of localization, synchronization of more platforms and cars). In the next part the paper talks about the concept that is being developed in the company Valeo Autoklimatizace k. s. in Prague and which will be used to improve autonomy of ADAS testing. Also safety mechanisms that must be implemented are mentioned. The conclusion then summarizes the main ideas and outlines the course of the future development of the current concept
