AI Simulators

AI Simulators - What are they?

Artificial Intelligence Simulators are quite often 2D or 3D virtual worlds where the simulation software provides an enviroment and (a) goal(s) to reach in that enviroment.


Aquiring an AI Simulator

There are some free and commerical packages for simulation of AI and/or robotics, most of these require knowledge in programming.

A list of purpose-built AI and robotics Simulators;

Bugworks 2D Robot Simulator - A free 2D robot simulator written in Java with cut-and-paste user interface plus all the usual features.

Camelot - Robot Offline Programming and Simulation Software - Camelots Ropsim is windows based Robot Offline Programming and Simulation Software for industrial robots. With Ropsim you can program your robot on your PC. Free to download, requires license key.

RoboWorks - RoboWorks is an easy to use software tool for 3D modeling, simulation and animation of any physical system. RoboWorks users benefit from: Extremely intuitive model development, High quality, fully interactive 3D graphics, Interfacing with popular software packages.

Game to Simulator Conversion

There are a number of games that can be converted to serve as a 'testing ground' for AI. There are many requirements of Game AI; path-finding, stratergy-making, working for/with/agaisnt the player. etc.

Grand Theft Auto series - Huge maps, driving/flying AI, path-finding.

USARSim - USARSim is a modifaction for the game Unreal Tourament 2004, it is a simulator used for Virtual Robo-Cup and general simulation useage, it has been used to show how robots can rescue people.
