Robot for versatile VRU ADAS testing
SEA Limited

STRIDE (Small Test Robot for Individuals in Dangerous Environments) is an ultra-low-profile, overrunable robotic platform developed by SEA Ltd.

Designed for carrying vulnerable road user (VRU) soft targets such as pedestrians and bicyclists, STRIDE is highly maneuverable, boasting a zero turning radius and test speeds up to 20km/h. An overrun height of less than 50mm minimizes impact on test vehicles in the event of a collision. Long battery life and a toolless, quick-change battery system paired with an onboard UPS ensure essentially zero testing downtime. Open-source software based on ROS allows the end user to execute a variety of scenarios out of the box or create their own custom behaviors with simple Python scripts.

A simple, intuitive GUI and wireless connectivity allow the robot to be controlled and configured from any device with a web browser, including a smartphone. A wireless E-stop allows the test conductor to move with the robot, and intuitive path recording removes the guesswork when laying out scenarios. A version for heavy trucks extends VRU testing capability to vehicles with tire loads up to 6,000 lb/tire. STRIDE is the ideal choice for adding VRU testing capability in situations where unique scenario demands require custom solutions.
