Steering Emulators
Boost ADAS Lab Testing with Te.Sense Bonito
As vehicles evolve to include electric and variable assist steering systems – as well as ADAS and automation functions such as Lane Keeping Assist – preserving meaningful, realistic steering force feedback becomes even more important, because it anchors the human-machine interface and defines the character of the car.
KTL's Te.Sense Bonito steering emulators are designed to cover a wide range of lab testing scenarios and virtual test driving situations.
With Te.Sense Bonito, simulated road loads are applied through a low-maintenance, compact, electro-magnetic servo linear motion mechanism, offering high speed, low latency, and zero backlash during directional changes. It's a must-have tool for passive and active steering system tuning in lab environments.

Technical Specifications
Te.Sense Bonito steering emulator systems are the perfect solution for special steering system characterizations that support ADAS developments and other vehicle control studies. Sometimes real-time human interactions (control and feedback) are necessary in conjunction with powertrain dyno and bench tests, and virtual test driving scenarios. Te.Sense Bonito has been designed for exactly such cases.
With Te.Sense Bonito, simulated road loads are applied through a low-maintenance, compact, electro-magnetic servo linear motion mechanism, offering high speed, low latency, and zero backlash during directional changes. It's a must-have tool for passive and active steering system tuning in lab environments.
These turn-key devices are fully compatible with HIL and VIL ecosystems, and can be easily integrated as supplemental devices to increase test and simulation capabilities. Te.Sense Bonito can be mounted to vehicle chassis or to test benches. It can accommodate front and rear steering configurations, and it can be configured for both above-ground and underground installations when used in conjunction with powertrain dynos.
