Engineers Just Want to Have Fun, Robocoaster Goes F1

Engineers and researchers form the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, in Tübingen, Germany and making some interesting  "scientific research" about the way humans perceive motion by riding a giant industrial robot arm from Kuka while playing video games.  As depicted in the video below, the system uses a Robocoaster, a modified six-axis Kuka KR 500 that can lift up to 500 kg usually found in amusement parks. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMLarxR-q08 Via IEEE Spectrum.
