To speed the development of motion-control applications without hardware, the user-friendly Application Development Kit (ADK) software features simulation and motion machine interface (MMI) tools to ...

Test pilot and ESA astronaut Roberto Vittori tests the 'DLR Robotic Motion Simulator'. Using the motion simulation, one can intuitively sense the behaviour of the lander and thus realistically control ...

The last decade has seen the introduction of vibro-sensory content into the fields of home-theatre and gaming. The development of various types of inertial actuators allows the production of ...

With its multi-purpose DESDEMONA simulator TNO definitely keeps pushing the limits of motion simulation. DESDEMONA is a motion simulator, disorientation trainer and advanced research lab, all in one.

Computer simulations designed to teach people how to operate a vehicle can reproduce a reasonable facsimile of real-world conditions, but they lack one key ingredient: a realisic sense of motion. That ...

The US Air Force Life Cycle Management Center (AFRL) has delivered the first full motion simulator for the Boeing E-4B, a 747-200 modified to be an airborne command post for the US government. The ...

[DERIY] set out to create a two degrees of freedom motion simulator for driving simulation. After four months, he’s completed this impressive simulator for about $400. The simulator receives driving ...

When computer-aided engineering (CAE) methods became available for design work in the 1980s, finite element analysis (FEA) was the first to be widely adopted. Over the years, it's helped design ...

Simulators for driving and ones for flying provide a reasonably convincing impersonation of movement through 3D space while sitting in a seat that only moves up and down and side-to-side. But the ...
