Study Notes
Agent, Environment, and State
- Agents interact with their environment through perception and action.
- An agent's state represents its current knowledge and internal configuration.
- Agents use a state function to maintain their current state based on previous states and observations.
- Agents use a transition function to predict the next state based on the current state and chosen action.
- Agents leverage a utility function to assess the desirability of different outcomes.
- An agent's exploration strategy guides its decision-making process to find the best action.
- The best action is typically the one that maximizes the expected utility.
Tower of Hanoi Problem
- The Tower of Hanoi problem is a classic puzzle that involves moving disks between pegs.
- The puzzle demonstrates the concepts of state-space exploration and planning.
Example: Collect and Goal
- The Collect and Goal problem involves collecting balls and reaching a specific goal location.
- The problem requires planning a sequence of actions to efficiently achieve the goal.
- Finding the optimal order of actions for collecting balls is a key aspect of this problem.
Planning: Assumptions and Objectives
- Planning involves defining a set of actions that achieve a desired goal.
- Planning assumes a deterministic environment, meaning actions have predictable outcomes.
- Planning aims to find the most efficient plan, often measured by minimizing the cost or maximizing the utility.
Activity 1: Find a Least-Energy Path
- The activity involves finding a plan that minimizes energy expenditure to reach a goal.
- The state includes variables for position (X, Y) and the actions include movements (Up, Down, Left, Right).
- The utility function should be defined to incentivize minimizing energy consumption.
- Calculating the energy cost for different paths and comparing their utilities help find the optimal plan.
State-Space Exploration
- State-space exploration involves searching through possible states and actions to find a plan that satisfies the goal.
- State-space is a representation of all possible states the agent can be in.
- Planning algorithms, such as search algorithms, are used to explore the state-space and find an optimal path.
Search Algorithms
- Search algorithms are computational procedures for exploring a state-space to find a solution.
- They systematically explore the state-space using strategies such as depth-first search, breadth-first search, or A*.
- The choice of search algorithm depends on the specific problem requirements and available resources.
