Abstract

Systems and methods to test autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) may include a dynamometer, a robotic system carrying an object, and a control system. An AMR under test may be positioned on the dynamometer and instructed to perform navigation maneuvers, which may be detected by the dynamometer. The control system may receive the detected movements and determine corresponding movements for the robotic system using inverse kinematics. Then, the control system may instruct movement of the object via the robotic system based on the corresponding movements. Using such test systems and methods, perception systems and responses by safety, navigation, and/or drive systems of AMRs may be tested in a controlled, robust, and repeatable manner.
