Chapter 2, Problem 2E
Let us examine the rationality of various vacuum-cleaner agent functions.
- a. Show that the simple vacuum-cleaner agent function described in Figure 2.3 is indeed rational under the assumptions listed on page 38.
- b. Describe a rational agent function for the case in which each movement costs one point. Does the corresponding agent program require internal state?
- c. Discuss possible agent designs for the cases in which clean squares can become dirty and the geography of the environment is unknown. Does it make sense for the agent to learn from its experience in these cases? If so, what should it learn? If not, why not?

function GOAL-BASED-AGENT (percept) returns an action
persistent: state, the agent’s current conception of the world state
model, a description of how the next state depends on the current state and action
goal, a description of the desired goal state
plan, a sequence of actions to take, initially empty
action, the most recent action, initially none

- For problem 2, you should provide two answers for each of the search strategies: the states expanded and the solution. Problem 2 Alice the agent wants to go skiing right after AI class is over. She starts in the lecture hall (the "Start" state below) and wants to make it to Alta (the "Goal" state) as soon as possible. There are several possible paths she can take denoted in the graph below ( refer to image ): The available actions at each state are denoted by arrows with a path cost label above each arrow. For each of the following graph search strategies, figure out the order in which states are expanded as well as the path returned by graph search. When choosing an arbitrary order of state expansions (to break ties), use alphabetical ordering. Remember that in graph search, states are expanded only once. Depth-first search Breadth-first search Uniform cost search A* searcharrow_forwardConsider a world with two species, emotional and unemotional. In this world emotional beings are deemed weaker than their unemotional counterparts. However, emotional beings are necessary for the overall population to survive. Using genetic algorithm, maintain a balance between these two species in such a way that the overall population is stronger, and its chances of survival are better collectively. Marks will be awarded based on the completeness, clarity and correctness of your solution.arrow_forwardthe knowledge-based agent is not an arbitrary program for calculating actions.

- 5. In a study on maze-running in rats with three independent variables (sleep deprivation: sleep- deprived or not; maze difficulty: easy or difficult; amount of practice: practice or no practice), which of the following describes a three-way interaction? There is no two-way interaction between sleep deprivation and amount of practice for the difficult maze, nor for the easy maze. b. There is a two-way interaction between sleep deprivation and amount of practice for the difficult maze, but not for the easy maze. a. There is a two-way interaction between sleep deprivation and amount of practice for the difficult maze, as well as for the easy maze. d. All rats perform better when not sleep deprived and when the maze is easy, and performance does not differ by amount of practice.

- The missionaries and cannibals problem is usually stated as follows. Three mission- aries and three cannibals are on one side of a river, along with a boat that can hold one or two people. Find a way to get everyone to the other side, without ever leaving a group of mis- sionaries in one place outnumbered by the cannibals in that place. This problem is famous in AI because it was the subject of the first paper that approached problem formulation from an analytical viewpoint (Amarel, 1968). a. Formulate the problem precisely, making only those distinctions necessary to ensure a valid solution. Draw a diagram of the complete state space. b. Implement and solve the problem optimally using an appropriate search algorithm. Is it a good idea to check for repeated states? c.

- A robot moves into rooms R1 and R2 and switch the bulbs B1 and B2 on/off. The following are the action schema:1. goto(r, x1, x2) : robot r go to x2 from x12. switchON(s): switchON the bulb s3. switchOFF(s): switchOFF the bulb s 1. Write down preconditions and effects of the above actions. 2. Consider the following: (i) Initial state: < R1;R2;B1;B2 >: Robot is at Room R1 not in Room R2 and both bulbs are off.(ii) Goal state: < R2;B1;B2 >: Robot is at Room R2 and both bulbs are ON.Draw state space diagram for the above by drawing to all possible states.arrow_forwardPlease explain it as soon as possible.arrow_forwardFor the Grasses-planting problem, there are THREE squares that the farmer robot can be located and three possible actions Move Left (L), Move Right (R) and Plant- grass (P). Move Left (Right) in the Left-Most (Right-Most) square will stay in the same square. A Square can be either "with grasses" or "empty". The objective of the farmer robot is to plant grasses on all the squares. An example state that the farmer robot located at the LEFT square and there are grasses on both the CENTER and the RIGHT squares is given as below: (a) Compute the number of all possible states for this problem.
