METHOD AND DEVICE FOR THE COMBINED SIMULATION AND CONTROL OF REMOTE-CONTROLLED VEHICLES USING A USER-FRIENDLY PROJECTION SYSTEM

摘要

The invention relates to a device and a method for the combined simulation and control of remote-controlled vehicles in a simulator. A driver's/pilot's compartment comprising real operating elements and emulating the vehicle to be controlled is provided with a six-axis industrial robot connected to ground. A display emulating the contours of the driver's/pilot's compartment serves to convey a simulated view of the exterior. The invention is characterized by the following: a) the vehicle to be controlled transmits to the user of the simulator actual data that are captured by sensors, b) the user of the simulator thus has virtually the same impression of the motion of the vehicle as a real driver/pilot, c) the manner in which the user of the simulator reacts is converted to mechanically picked-up signals, d) a sensor unit mounted in the head region of the user is provided for adjusting the pair of eyes, and e) an apparatus corrects, with the aid of a GPS system in the case of a vehicle that is controlled in reality, the actual position of the vehicle to the calculated position.

主权项

1. A device for the combined simulation and control of remote-controlled vehicles in a simulator, wherein a vehicle cabin, which replicates the vehicle to be controlled, having real operating elements is connected to the ground using a six-axis industrial robot via a support device, and wherein a display screen which replicates the contours of the vehicle cabin is used to transmit a simulated external view, the device comprising:
a) a receiving unit for receiving optical data of the vehicle to be controlled, and a receiving unit for receiving acoustic data of the vehicle to be controlled, b) a transmitting and receiving unit for bidirectionally transmitting movement relevant data, c) a control unit, which transmits signals, which are mechanically generated by the user of the simulator, and are prepared by means of mathematical models, to the control elements of the vehicle, d) a sensor for the adjustment of the pair of eyes of the user with respect to the longitudinal axis of the vehicle cockpit during the projection in the starting location of the vehicle to be controlled, e) a device for the imperceptible tracking of the mathematically calculated position or the vehicle w the position ascertained by a GPS.
