Embodied Cognitive Fidelity and the Advancement of Human Robot Team Simulations

Abstract

Embodied Cognitive Fidelity (ECF) offers both a theoretical framework by which simulation may be considered in terms of contemporary cognitive theory and a methodology for application in effective and useful simulation tools. We overview the context for simulation use in human robot teams and offer ECF as an alternative to other foci of fidelity. We identify the criteria and attributes expected of simulations with high ECF and propose future considerations for research.
