STRIPS problem definitions

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanford_Research_Institute_Problem_Solver

  • Initial state
  • Goal state(s)
  • Set of actions. For each:
    • preconditions
    • effects
/// Base type for all action primitives
class ActionPrimitiveInterface
{
  virtual bool IsCandidate(const State& state) const = 0;
  virtual Container GetOutcomes(const State& state) const = 0;
  ...
};
  • PDDL (Planning Domain Definition Language)

Feedback via online replanning

In the dish-loading example, we replan before each action to handle unexpected outcomes...
