Ultra-Flat Overrunable (UFO) Robot Platform
Our Ultra-Flat Overrunable (UFO) robot platform delivers a versatile and low-maintenance solution for your active safety testing needs. The UFO is remotely controlled with a Global Vehicle Target (GVT) or vulnerable road user (VRU) dummy attached to the top. Its stability and low profile allow you to run fully autonomous testing on the latest collision mitigation features with maximum accuracy and repeatability without risking damage to the test vehicles or driver.
The UFOmini was developed for pedestrian and bicycle testing beyond the bounds of Euro NCAP protocols. Thanks to the clever 2+2 wheel chassis design, rapid turning of the pedestrian and bicycle dummies is possible, allowing you to simulate complex realistic scenarios for Vulnerable Road User (VRU) active safety systems.

Software
- Test scenario Generation – selection: intuitive GUI guides the user through the selection of predefined scenarios or in the creation of new ones.
- Test scenario execution: the Humanetics UFObase software functions as a control center for up to 9 Humanetics active safety robots. This allows very complex traffic simulation scenarios where multiple vehicles are synchronized to each other to assess Performance.
- Test evaluation: tailored test evaluation solutions are available within the Humanetics software portfolio. From a simple plot of the test data to an automatic evaluation of test scenarios, the user can choose the solution that best suits their Needs.
