1) An aerospace engineer is volunteering as a mentor for a high school team competing in a national contest to build a robot that straightens boxes. The plan was to help the students on weekends for at most eight to ten hours. As the national competition nears, the robot's motor overheats, and the engine burns out. He wants to help the dispirited students and believes his mentoring commitment requires he do more. But doing so would involve additional evening work that could potentially harm his work, if not his family.

Problem statement Given the below maze configuration, the task of the robot is to navigate in the maze and find the optimal path to reach the finish position. It can move to the north, south, west and east direction. While navigating through the environment it has obstacles like walls. For each transition, a path cost of +3 is added in search. Assume that the robot's vision sensors are sensitive to the exposure to the sunlight and whenever it tries to move towards the east direction resulting in incurring an additional penalty of +5 cost. Use Euclidean distance as a heuristic wherever necessary. Start Finish Use the following algorithms to find the optimal path. a. A* Algorithm b. Hill Climbing Algorithm Evaluations will be based on the following: 1. Explain the PEAS (Performance measure, Environment, Actuator, Sensor.) for your agent. 2. Use both the above mentioned algorithms and implement in PYTHON. 3. Print the optimal path sequence with costs. 4. Include code in your…
While each of us has had a reading of our blood pressure taken, many of us may not know what blood pressure actually means. Blood pressure is expressed as a ratio of the maximum (systolic) and minimum (diastolic) pressure found in the aorta during one cardiac cycle. These pressure values are measured in millimeters of mercury (mmHg). Determining abnormal blood pressure is critical for diagnosing and averting a number of serious health problems (e.g. heart disease and stroke). Doctors therefore make decisions about the potential for serious health problems based on a few simple calculations. One simple calculation of interest is mean arterial pressure (MAP). The mean arterial pressure is the average pressure during the cardiac cycle. The MAP of a normal, resting heart can be computed by the formula: MAP = DP + (1/3)PP where DP is the diastolic pressure and PP is the pulse pressure. Create a Java class file called MeanArterialPressure. This program will compute a user's mean arterial…

Q. A person has NID, name, street, city, thana, district and age. A person may be an employee with special attributes as salary and qualification (highest degree). An employee may be government or private. For government employees, special attributes are ministry and designation. For non-government employees, special attributes are company name and position. 1. A national team is formed with the attributes of id, team leader, game, organizing country, and date. The attribute team leader is a reference type that refers to a person. You have to define NID as a reference. 2. Define types and inheritance 3. Create a table for each type with table inheritance using PostgreSQL and Oracle formats and insert two tuples in each table. 4. Define reference type for the national team and appoint Abdullah with NID 1234567890 as a team leader using system-generated reference. Insert two tuples in national team relation. 5.
