The keeper's note
Variable-fidelity simulation technique (ride/robotics adjacent).
Abstract
In some implementations, a simulation platform may receive a request to perform a simulation of operations of a plurality of components. The simulation platform may receive first fidelity information identifying a first level of detail and functionality to be simulated for a first component of the plurality of components, wherein the first level of detail and functionality is part of a first plurality of levels of details and functionalities to be simulated for the first component. The simulation platform may receive second fidelity information identifying a second level of detail and functionality to be simulated for a second component of the plurality of components, wherein the second level of detail and functionality is part of a second plurality of levels of details and functionalities to be simulated for the second component. The simulation platform may execute, based on the request, a computer model to perform the simulation of the operations of the plurality of components, wherein, during the simulation, an operation of the first component is simulated based on the first fidelity information, and wherein, during the simulation, an operation of the second component is simulat
Background
BACKGROUND
A ride system includes a passenger vehicle that transports passengers through a ride experience. Typically, the passenger vehicle includes a system or device that propels the passenger vehicle through the ride experience, from one portion of the ride system to another portion of the ride system. In some situations, a computer model may be executed to simulate a movement of the passenger vehicle along a ride path. SUMMARY
In some implementations, a method performed by a simulation platform includes receiving a request to perform a simulation of operations of a plurality of components; receiving first fidelity information identifying a first level of detail and functionality to be simulated for a first component of the plurality of components, wherein the first level of detail and functionality is part of a first plurality of levels of details and functionalities to be simulated for the first component; receiving second fidelity information identifying a second level of detail and functionality to be simulated for a second component of the plurality of components, wherein the second level of detail and functionality is part of a second plurality of levels of details and functionalities to be simulated for the second component; executing, based on the request, a computer model to perform the simulation of the operations of the plurality of components, wherein, during the simulation, an operation of the first component is simulated based on the first fide
