How STRIPS Works in AI?
The STRIPS algorithm operates by maintaining a database of predicates that describe the state of the world. Each action available to the system is defined in terms of its preconditions and its effects (both add and delete). The planning process in STRIPS involves searching through the space of possible actions to find a sequence that transitions the system from the initial state to the state where the goal predicates are satisfied.
Planning with STRIPS:
- Define the Initial State: Where the system starts.
- Set the Goal State: What the system should achieve.
- Develop Actions: Defined by their preconditions and effects.
- Search for Solutions: Using a strategy like backward chaining from the goal state to the initial state, identifying actions that satisfy the goal conditions.
STRIPS in AI
In AI, planning involves generating a sequence of actions to achieve a specific goal. One of the most influential approaches to automated planning is the Stanford Research Institute Problem Solver, commonly known as STRIPS. Developed in the late 1960s at Stanford Research Institute (now SRI International) by Richard Fikes and Nils Nilsson, STRIPS has laid the groundwork for many of the concepts used in modern AI planning systems.
This article explores the fundamental concepts of STRIPS, its mechanics, and its applications in various fields.
