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.

37. A method for simulating a motion of a vehicle by use of a multi-axis serial robot carrying a seat, comprising the following steps:
-
a) placing an operator in the seat, and b) moving the seat along with the operator in space to simulate a real movement of the operator, wherein long-lasting accelerations or decelerations are simulated by generating a centrifugal force acting on the operator. - View Dependent Claims (38, 39, 40)
