Abstract
A method of controlling a robot for testing of a motorcar by the simulated driving thereof, as on a chassis dynamometer. The robot is capable of detecting shifted operating quantities of actuators of the robot to correct the detected shifted quantities, whereby surely achieving operations of pedals and the like of the motorcar by the actuators. In the case where the actuators of the robot are shifted in position during a test driving of the motorcar, these positional shifts are automatically sensed and compensated for during the simulated driving of the motorcar, and the test need not be discontinued or interrupted.
