Patent number: 9442044Abstract: In a vehicle test system, a displacement degree computing unit computes degrees of six-degree-of-freedom displacements of each of second motion bases, which correspond to external forces of respective six degrees of freedom detected by a corresponding one of six-axis force sensors, on an assumption that each of the second motion bases has a virtual mechanical impedance. A MB second target value generator generates final position and posture target values for each of the second motion bases based on the position and posture target values for each of the second motion bases and the degrees of six-degree-freedom displacements of each of the second motion bases.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2014Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: JTEKT CORPORATIONInventor: Masaharu Tagami
