--- abstract: 'This paper describes the evolution of controllers for racing a simulated radio-controlled car around a track, modelled on a real physical track. Five different controller architectures were compared, based on neural networks, force fields and action sequences. The controllers use either egocentric (first person), Newtonian (third person) or no information about the state of the car (open-loop controller). The only controller that is able to evolve good racing behaviour is based on a neural network acting on egocentric inputs.' altloc: - http://julian.togelius.com/Togelius2005Evolving.pdf chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: ~ confdates: September 2005 conference: IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation confloc: 'Edinburgh, UK' contact_email: ~ creators_id: [] creators_name: - family: Togelius given: Julian honourific: '' lineage: '' - family: Lucas given: Simon M. honourific: '' lineage: '' date: 2005 date_type: published datestamp: 2006-10-15 department: ~ dir: disk0/00/00/52/18 edit_lock_since: ~ edit_lock_until: ~ edit_lock_user: ~ editors_id: [] editors_name: [] eprint_status: archive eprintid: 5218 fileinfo: /style/images/fileicons/application_pdf.png;/5218/1/Togelius2005Evolving.pdf full_text_status: public importid: ~ institution: ~ isbn: ~ ispublished: pub issn: ~ item_issues_comment: [] item_issues_count: 0 item_issues_description: [] item_issues_id: [] item_issues_reported_by: [] item_issues_resolved_by: [] item_issues_status: [] item_issues_timestamp: [] item_issues_type: [] keywords: ~ lastmod: 2011-03-11 08:56:39 latitude: ~ longitude: ~ metadata_visibility: show note: Winner of the best student paper award at CEC 2005. number: ~ pagerange: 1906-1913 pubdom: FALSE publication: ~ publisher: IEEE Press refereed: TRUE referencetext: ~ relation_type: [] relation_uri: [] reportno: ~ rev_number: 12 series: ~ source: ~ status_changed: 2007-09-12 17:08:04 subjects: - comp-sci-mach-learn - comp-sci-neural-nets - comp-sci-art-intel succeeds: ~ suggestions: ~ sword_depositor: ~ sword_slug: ~ thesistype: ~ title: Evolving controllers for simulated car racing type: confpaper userid: 4535 volume: ~
