  • Patent number: 10559218
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a filter for controlling a simulator for the representation of movements of a simulated vehicle, the rotational and translational control commands required to control the simulator being calculated from a difference between the angle of rotation and the apparent vertical angle, taking into account a physiological rotation rate limitation.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: February 11, 2020
    Inventor: Carsten Seehof
  • Patent number: 10139794
    Abstract: In a movement system, the movement limit is determined by having a degree of freedom of the movement system defined and the respective current movement system state being available. Subsequently, an articulation trajectory is determined for each upper articulation point of the movement system, on which articulation trajectory the articulation point can move along the degree of freedom. The movement limit is then derived by calculating the point of intersection of the actuator movement in an extreme deflection with its respective articulation trajectory.

  • Patent number: 9607114
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for activating a motion system of a simulator provided for simulating motion and/or acceleration values, wherein at least one acceleration value (1) which is to be simulated is simulated by the motion system being inclined in relation to the earth's vertical, and an additional translatory motion profile (5) of the motion system is determined in order to compensate liar a simulation error (3) until the positioning angle is reached. Activation then takes place in dependence on an inclination profile and the additional translatory motion profile (5).
