Short description: Open source 3D racing simulator
RARS is an acronym for Robot Auto Racing Simulator. It is an open source 3D racing simulator. RARS is designed to enable pre-programmed AI drivers to race against one another. RARS was used as the base for TORCS.[1] It was used as an example in the book Intelligent Information Processing and Web Mining by Mieczysław Kłopotek.[2]
It was a monthly on-going challenge for practitioners of Artificial Intelligence and real-time adaptive optimal control.[3] It consists of
- a simulation of the physics of cars racing on a track,
- a graphic display of the race,
- and a separate control program (robot "driver") for each car.
Each participant could submit a robot (a file written in C++) which controlled the car and competed to win the race.
- The input was the road and cars in front of it.
- The output was the driver wheel and driver accelerator position.
RARS was downloaded from its main repository on SourceForge.net between 2000 and May 2017 almost 100,000 times.[4]
