Review of Cognitive Architectures for the Design, Test and Evolution of Intelligent Ground Vehicles

Abstract

Human behavioral models are computer programs that emulate humans performing tasks and executing missions. Human cognitive models are behavioral models with a focus on cognitive tasks involving planning, problem solving, and learning among other things. A quarter century of research in Artificial Intelligence, Cognitive Science, Computer Human Interaction, and Computer Simulation has generated a rich collection of competing theories and tools for developing cognitive models. While the field of human modeling theories and tools continues to grow, and the awareness of the potential benefits of human modeling increases, there is very still a lack of comprehensive, unbiased guidelines allowing engineers to compare tools and select those appropriate for the task at hand. Two reports have been commissioned in the past 5 years by the Defense Modeling and Simulation Office, and the HSIAC respectively. The work reported in this paper shares the same goals and motivations as these two books, albeit with a narrower and more focused scope. Specifically, this paper examines the applicability of existing cognitive architectures as they apply to the design, test, and evolution of intelligent ground vehicles.
