Definition
Planning in AI involves determining a sequence of actions that will lead from an initial state to a desired goal state. It requires reasoning about the effects of actions and the constraints of the environment. Classical planning uses symbolic representations, while modern approaches may integrate reinforcement learning or large language models to handle complex, dynamic, or partially observable environments, enabling autonomous agents to make strategic decisions.
Summary
The cognitive process of generating a sequence of actions to achieve specific goals within a defined environment.
Key Concepts
- State space search
- Action sequences
- Goal satisfaction
- Heuristic search
Use Cases
- Robotics navigation
