Ansible Motion is a leading UK-based developer of Driver-in-the-Loop (DIL) simulators, enabling automotive and motorsport engineers to carry out advanced vehicle development and testing in ultra-realistic virtual environments. Founded in 2009, and now part of the AB Dynamics Group, Ansible Motion is a trusted supplier to OEMs, race teams and research institutions around the world.
Ansible Motion DIL simulators are designed to place human drivers at the centre of virtual test environments, with a combination of high-fidelity, high-dynamics motion, vision, audio and real-time computation systems that provide repeatable, controllable testing of vehicles and subsystems, without the need for physical prototypes.
The Ansible Motion’s product range consists of the following:
- Delta Series – Full-scale dynamic simulators with comprehensive motion and immersive visuals. Used extensively in motorsport for chassis and tyre modelling, setup development, driver training and race strategy. In the automotive space, these simulators support full vehicle dynamics development programmes, ADAS and tyre modelling.
- Sigma Series – Full-size static simulators for tasks that don’t require motion but still demand high realism. Typical use cases include HMI development, infotainment testing, cockpit ergonomics and NVH evaluation.
- Theta Series – Compact, transportable simulators for early-stage model development and motorsport multi-sim configurations. Commonly used for steering and controls testing, ECU calibration, SIL/HIL integration and multi-participant simulations.
All Ansible Motion DIL simulators are modular and built upon an industry-leading open software architecture, called DDB. They integrate seamlessly with tools like rFpro, AVL and dSPACE, enabling engineers to test with real hardware, test benches and software in the loop systems.
By providing immersive, easily-configurable virtual testing environments, Ansible Motion DIL simulators allow engineers the true freedom to ‘be engineers’ and focus on problem-solving, fast iteration and innovation - whether developing the latest generation of road vehicles or realising performance gains on track.
