Abstract

HRI is an excellent candidate for simulator based research because of the relative simplicity of the systems being modeled, the behavioral fidelity possible with current physics engines and the capability of modern graphics cards to approximate camera video. In this paper we briefly introduce the USARsim simulation and discuss efforts to validate its behavior for use in Human Robot Interaction (HRI) research.
