As shown, industrial-strength robot arms account for more than amusing hijinks and occasional assembly line – a team of researchers from the German Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics have turned a KUKA KR 500 in the ultimate Formula 1 driving simulator. Reduction in the six-axis, a half-ton lifter with a force feedback steering wheel, pedals, video projector and curved screen, the newly-baptized Cyber Motion Simulator allows scientists a virtual Ferrari F2007 racing car to throw in the corners, while the cockpit around whips with up to 2 Gs of equal and opposite force-Newtonian. There is really no loftier goal for this specific scientific project, as was the whole gist om a racing game that’s as feels like the real thing – but to be honest, half paper tested to see whether or head-projectors mounted displays made for better drivers. (Projectors won.) See how close they came to reality in a video after the break, while a small experiment to carry out our own.
