The Modular Digital Chassis Demonstrator for Next Generation Autonomous Mobility
Rob.Y is a modular digital chassis demonstrator developed by e-Shock to showcase our sensing, control and connectivity technologies and the depth of our system integration capabilities.
Designed as an internal R&D platform, Rob.Y illustrates how e-Shock’s engineering approach brings together mechatronics, software and embedded architectures to support robotic and autonomy-ready vehicle development.




Professional mobility is rapidly moving toward automation, electrification and connectivity. OEMs face challenges in R&D costs, software hardware integration and safety validation.
Rob.Y addresses these barriers by serving as a digital chassis demonstrator designed to make next generation autonomy and robotic vehicle architectures testable and tangible.
Rob.Y was developed by e-Shock and Streparava, as a modular electric chassis integrating sensing, control, connectivity and YAPE’s autonomous capabilities.
This demonstrator shows how e Shock’s system integration expertise brings mechanical, electronic and software layers together into a cohesive digital chassis, enabling a new class of multi vehicle autonomous platforms.



Rob.Y evolved from concept to a fully operational autonomous mobility demonstrator through close engineering collaboration.
To achieve this, e-Shock carried out integration and validation activities including:
This combined work demonstrates how sensing, control, connectivity, and autonomy can operate together within a single digital chassis.
Rob.Y’s engineering architecture brings together sensing, control, connectivity and autonomy into a single coordinated platform.
Rob.Y is relevant for professionals who work with advanced vehicle architectures and want to understand how sensing, control, connectivity and autonomy come together in a real platform. It is particularly useful for:
It serves as a robotics R&D demonstrator enabling insights into autonomous vehicle engineering.
Answers to key questions on digital chassis architecture, autonomy integration and advanced mobility engineering.
A digital chassis demonstrator is a functional platform combining sensing actuation control and connectivity for evaluating autonomous or robotic vehicle functions. OEMs use it to validate integration challenges early and reduce development risk
Rob.Y integrates IMU sensors accelerometers and e Shock’s fusion algorithms to deliver accurate roll pitch yaw and dynamic behaviour estimation which are essential for autonomous navigation and control systems.
A modular electric chassis enables rapid iteration clean packaging of electronics and flexible testing conditions. It allows research teams to evaluate new sensing and control technologies without redesigning vehicle hardware.
Mapless autonomy removes the dependency on pre built maps which reduces cost and increases deployment flexibility. On Rob.Y it demonstrates how Level 4 behaviours can operate on a vehicle agnostic platform.
Rob.Y itself is not customisable for external pilots but the technologies demonstrated on Rob.Y including sensing control and connectivity can be adapted to OEM specific programs.
Rob.Y supports testing of sensor fusion vehicle state estimation control response telematics cloud diagnostics and integration of autonomous behaviours which benefits early research and applied development.
