Explanation of Solution
a.
Viewing online search problem as offline search problem:
- The online search is equivalent to the offline search in belief state space. In that each and every action in a belief state can have multiple successor belief states. For each percept the agent is able to observe after the action.
- A successor belief-state is created by taking the previous belief-state, itself a collection of states, replacing each state in this belief-state with successor state under the action, and eliminating all successor states that are incompatible with the definition.
- This is similar to the AND-OR search and can be used to solve this search problem.
- The initial belief state has 210 = 1024 states in it, and as the user knows whether the two edges have wall or not but nothing more...

b.
Justification:
Assume that the external walls ...
Explanation of Solution
c.
Branches of a contingency plan:
- Consider the above figure, the initial null action leads to four possible belief states, as shown in the figure. From each belief state, the agent chooses a single action which can lead to up to 8 belief states (on entering the middle square)...
