  • MOTION SIMULATOR AND CORRESPONDING METHOD
    Publication number: 20130108992
    Abstract: The invention relates to a motion simulator for simulating a motion of a vehicle, particularly an aircraft, comprising: a multi-axis serial robot (1) comprising a rotatable base axis (2), and a seat (17) for an operator, wherein the seat (17) is attached to the multi-axis serial robot (1), so that the seat (17) can be moved in space by the multi-axis serial robot (1) for simulation of a real movement, wherein the motion simulator is adapted to simulate a long-lasting acceleration or deceleration by generating a centrifugal force acting on the operator. Further, the invention relates to a corresponding method.
