abstract = "This paper presents a virtual racing car controller
based on an artificial gene regulatory network. Usually
used to control virtual cells in developmental models,
recent works showed that gene regulatory networks are
also capable to control various kinds of agents such as
foraging agents, pole cart, swarm robots, etc. This
paper details how a gene regulatory network is evolved
to drive on any track through a three-stages
incremental evolution. To do so, the inputs and outputs
of the network are directly mapped to the car sensors
and actuators. To make this controller a competitive
racer, we have distorted its inputs online to make it
drive faster and to avoid opponents. Another
interesting property emerges from this approach: the
regulatory network is naturally resistant to noise. To
evaluate this approach, we participated in the 2013
simulated racing car competition against eight other
evolutionary and scripted approaches. After its first
participation, this approach finished in third place in
the competition.",
