As the spread of electric vehicles increases, battery performance testing, which takes approximately 6 hours or more until the battery is completely discharged, becomes necessary. The need for automatic testing is increasing due to extremely severe labor stress due to long-term testing and low-temperature testing as well. In this study, a basic research was conducted to develop a driving robot that mimics human pedal movements. Two-degree-of-freedom pedal control mechanism is designed and manufactured that implements a pivoting movement with the heel placed on the floor of the drivers seat, similar to a human. In order to analyze pedal operation movements when driving in the UDDS and HWFET speed modes that constitute electric vehicle testing, cameras were mounted on the vehicle to measure foot movements, and OBD data was used to measure vehicle driving variables. Using these data, the drivers pedal motion movements during electric vehicle testing were analyzed, and will be used to construct a pedal control system in the following study.
