Planning and Decision Making

Planning in AI focuses on generating sequences of actions to transition from an initial state to a desired goal state. Various planning systems, such as STRIPS and Goal Stack Planning, facilitate problem-solving in complex environments, while Markov Decision Processes (MDPs) deal with decision-making under uncertainty. These tools enable the design of intelligent agents capable of effective long-term goal achievement and rational behavior in both deterministic and uncertain contexts.
