What is usually abused for factory work and amusing hijinks, a team of researchers at Germany’s Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics have turned a KUKA KR 500 robotic arm into a Formula 1 simulator ride, with the help of some force-feedback steering wheel, pedals, video projector, and curved screens. The CyberMotion Simulator lets scientists ride a virtual Ferrari F2007 in a virtual race track, cooler than your home Logitech Momo Steering Wheel. The cockpit is capable to whip out up to 2 Nm of G-Force.
