Control Unit
ASI’s patented VCU computer is the
brain in the vehicle. It communicates
with the sensors and controls the
vehicle. It also relays info between
the vehicle, server, and Mobius.
Actuators
Universal actuators are placed in the vehicle to
communicate with the VCU so that vehicle operations
can be controlled safely and accurately. In by-wire
vehicles no actuators are needed, as the VCU
integrates with vehicle controls directly.
Kit Sensors
Sensors collect environmental info
and relay it to the onboard VCU to
give awareness to the automation
system. Compatible with the
Mobileye® camera system.

6. 03 MOBIUSWhat is Mobius?
The industry’s most
advanced unmanned
command and control
solution.
Enjoy safer, more
productive robotic
vehicle operations.
Intuitive, well designed
user experience

7. 03 MOBIUSFeatures
Command & Control
Set specific tasks and control the critical vehicle
functions including steering, transmission,
acceleration, braking, and ignition from a remote
location.
Multi-Vehicle
Enjoy greater productivity and economies of scale
as a single operator controls multiple unmanned
vehicles interacting in the same area or at
disparate locations.
User Friendly
Experience the simple, clean Mobius interface
that leverages advanced design and development
techniques and incorporates user testing results
from industry professionals.
A.I.
Improve productivity with embedded artificial
intelligence modules that automatically task
vehicles, generate maps and paths, develop
area coverage patterns, and more.
Safety
Monitor vehicle health data, view warnings
from obstacle detection sensors, plan dynamic
paths to avoid hazards, and prevent collisions
with proximity monitor and choreographer.
Notifications
Real-time notifications provide remote
operators with detailed feedback on
environmental issues, system errors, and
vehicle check-in and running status.

8. 03 MOBIUS DURABILITY PROCESSBuild and Execute Advanced Process
01 Path Builder
Creates a drivable path that can be
customized to match testing needs
and course routes.
02 Event Planning
Execute actions at a specific point in a path,
including: acceleration, deceleration, stop, wait, lane
change, variable force braking, roll over, and more...
03 Vehicle Tasking
Vehicles can be tasked to run routes as many times
as needed. No need to switch drivers out due to
hazardous road conditions, fatigue, and driver breaks.

9. BENEFITS OF AUTOMATIONVariability Between Human Drivers vs. ASI’s High Precision Robotic Kit
Accuracy & Repeatability
This data was taken from real proving ground
durability tests and highlight the variability
between human drivers and the variability
between ASI robot drivers.
Four vehicles of the same model were subject to
a standard durability test cycle. Two of the
vehicles were driven by two different drivers. The
other two vehicles were driven by two different
ASI robot drivers. Each vehicle was fitted with an
accelerometer measuring force in a single axis.
The charts above plot the measurements made
on the four trials at that same point.
The frequency response and histogram charts
highlight the reduced variability between the robot
drivers. Robot drivers allow for much more
consistent application of your drive cycles to your
prototype vehicles.

10. BENEFITS OF AUTOMATION
Safety
Robotic drivers can be used in tests that are not suitable for humans.
The ASI automation kit is rugged enough to withstand any harsh
durability test, and repeat it over and over again without any need to
stop. A robotic automated durability test vehicle can run for as long
as its fuel tank will allow.
Productivity
A robotic automation kit costs much less than trained durability
drivers operating the same vehicle.
Enjoy greater productivity and economies of scale as single
operators can control multiple unmanned vehicles.
