Three States and a Plan: The A.I. of F. E. A. R.
http://web.media.mit.edu/~jorkin/gdc2006_orkin_jeff_fear.pdf
The author of this white paper is Jeff Orkin - creator of the revolutionary AI for F. E. A. R. In his article Jeff uncovered how to make hard math work for you with very detailed description of Goal Oriented Hierarchical Planner.
The 2K BotPrize
Build an AI bot using API for Unreal Tournament 2004 and challenge other bots for prizes.
Steering Behaviors For Autonomous Characters
http://www.red3d.com/cwr/steer/
Description of simple techniques for controlling goal-directed motion of simulated characters around their world, for applications in games and animation. Includes Java demos and related links.
Steering Behaviors
http://www.steeringbehaviors.de/
Description of techniques to autonomously steer vehicles through a predefined virtual world. Simple behaviors (e.g. obstacle avoidance) can be combined to create more complex behaviors.
