A hydrogen hybrid powertrain has been developed for the Volksbot RT3 differential drive mobile robot in order to obtain a remote-controlled small scale hydrogen car named H2-VOLKS. The powertrain is able to implement any control strategies by setting the instantaneous power split between the fuel cell and the batteries. The robot provides the University of Salento with a low-cost system to test models and develop control strategies applicable to real scale vehicles. In particular, a control strategy presented by the authors in a previous investigation has been optimized with a multi-objective genetic algorithm and tested on the H2-VOLKS.
