Call for Participation in the Research "Robocar World Championship" is a new initiative to create a community of people who share an interest in investigating the relationship between smart cities and robot cars. At the heart of this initiative is the Robocar City Emulator. It will enable researchers to test and validate their theories and models.
I am pleased to be able to inform you that we have already built a working prototype called "Justine". It has very limited features but we think it can be used to start building a community: - Each competition is assigned to a city. Competitions are played on a rectangular area of the OSM (OpenStreetMap) map of the given city. - Routine cars, smart cars and guided cars may be placed onto the OSM map, where cop multiagents pursue gangster agents for ten minutes. Cops are guided cars and these are controlled by the competing teams. If you are interested in joining our initiative please read the wiki page https://code.google.com/p/robocar-emulator/wiki/RobocarWorldChampionship for details and updates. Thank you for your attention. I hope to be hearing from your team soon.
