Problem Solving Agent

Front

What is a Problem Solving Agent?

Back

A Problem Solving Agent uses atomic representations with no internal structure visible to the problem-solving algorithms.

Front

What are the components of a well-defined problem?

Back

Initial state, actions, transition model, goal test, and path cost.

Front

What does the search algorithm do in the context of problem-solving?

Back

It takes a problem as input and returns a solution in the form of an action sequence.

Front

What is the goal test in problem-solving?

Back

It determines whether a given state is a goal state.

Front

What is the significance of the state space in problem-solving?

Back

The state space is the set of all states reachable from the initial state by any sequence of actions.

Front

What is a path in the state space?

Back

A path is a sequence of states connected by a sequence of actions.

Front

What is the path cost?

Back

Path cost assigns a numeric cost to each path, with an optimal solution having the lowest path cost among all solutions.

Front

What defines the initial state in the Vacuum World example?

Back

The vacuum can be in any of the 8 states shown in the environment.

Front

What actions can be performed in the Vacuum World?

Back

Left, Right, and Suck.

Front

What is the goal test in the Vacuum World?

Back

It checks whether all squares are clean.
