OBJECTIVE To examine the importance of platform motion to the transfer of performance in motion simulators. BACKGROUND The importance of platform motion in simulators for pilot training is strongly debated. We hypothesized that the type of motion (e.g., disturbance) contributes significantly to performance differences. METHODS Participants used a joystick to perform a target tracking task i...

A simulator motion platform cannot exactly reproduce the longitudinal and rotational motions experienced in a real vehicle since it is constrained by its physical limits. The aim of this research is to provide a Motion Cueing Algorithm that can accurately produce vehicle accelerations and angular velocities in the simulator platform at high fidelity to give the most realistic motion, within the...

Abstract A method for time‐domain motion compensation of high frequency (HF) radar signals the case a floating transmitter and fixed receiver is proposed when parameters (including amplitude angular motion) are not known priori. In this study, platform assumed to follow single‐frequency model. Additionally, instead trying estimate from received motion‐contaminated Doppler spectrum, which propor...

In this paper, the problem of landing an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) on a platform with unknown oscillating motion is investigated. A control architecture that enables fast, safe and precise landing process is proposed. This control architecture consists of three modules: a tracking control module, a trajectory generation module and a vision-based motion estimation module. For the tracking co...

The paper describes the recent advancements gained on the MPI motion simulator project. The aim of this project is the use of an anthropomorphic robot as actuation system for a motion platform intended for real time flight simulation. Almost all commercially available motion platforms rely on the so called Stewart platform, that is a 6-DOF platform that can bear high payloads and can achieve hi...

Driving simulators are widely used in different applications: driver training, vehicle development, and medical studies. To fully exploit the potential of such devices, it is crucial to develop motion control strategies that generate realistic driving feelings. This has to be achieved while keeping the platform within its limited operation space. Such strategies are called motion cueing algorit...

To investigate sensory reweighting as a fundamental property of sensor fusion during standing, we probed postural control with simultaneous rotations of the visual scene and surface of support. Nineteen subjects were presented with pseudo-random pitch rotations of visual scene and platform at the ankle to test for amplitude dependencies in the following conditions: low amplitude vision: high am...
