PDDL: Knight Tour With Holes: Urukh-Ai

This document discusses PDDL (Planning Domain Definition Language) and its use in representing a knight's tour planning problem with holes on a chessboard. It describes the key components of a PDDL problem - objects, predicates, initial state, goal, and actions. It then provides details on encoding the knight's tour problem in PDDL, including the objects, predicates, initial state, goal, and actions. Finally, it briefly discusses two approaches to solving PDDL problems - using Boolean satisfiability to translate it or building a graph search.

PDDL: Knight Tour with

Holes
URUKH-AI
Planning Domain Definition Language

 PDDL is a standard encoding language for “classical”


planning tasks.
 Component of a PDDL planning task are:
 Objects: things in the world that interest us.
 Predicates: properties of objects, can be true or false.
 Initial State: the state of the world at the beginning.
 Goal: things that we want to be true.
 Actions: ways of changing the state of the world.
Knight Tour with Holes

 The environment is represented by a chessboard, but in


our scenario we used a 4x4 matrix, in order to simplify the
computation.
 We want to move the knight in each cell of the matrix
according to chess rules.
 When this goal is reached the knight must return in
starting position.

Full-logical approach vs
Search approach
Planning using Boolean Satisfiability

 We can translate a PDDL description into a form that can


be processed by SAT.
 We can replace each action with a set of ground actions
formed by substituting constants for each of the variables.
 Define the initial state: assert every instance in initial
state as true and false otherwise.
Planning using Boolean Satisfiability
Translating the goal: we need that the clause must be
ground.
 For example, in our scenario this is the translation:

 Precondition and the effects: like an implication, if a


precondition is true the effect must be true.
 Precondition → Effect
Planning using a graph
 We can build a graph that takes as input a planning problem
and produces a sequence of operations for reaching a goal
state.
 The graph is composed by:
 Nodes: are possible states.
 Edges: indicate reachability through a certain action.
 The first level represents the initial state, and the last level
contains all the facts that appear in the goal state.
 Lists of incompatible facts that cannot be true at the same
time and incompatible actions that cannot be executed
together.
Full-logic vs Search
 Full-logic: we describe the solution and the actions throught
rules, but we don’t decribe how to reach solution.

 Search: we define the algorithm that we use to reach the


solution.
