Ruby Simple Planner

DESCRIPTION

A simple planner for STRIPS domains written in Ruby

REQUIREMENTS

    $ sudo gem install algorithms

USAGE

The planner accepts STRIPS domains and problems specified with a YAML syntax. In the domains directory you find the representations of these problems:

• blocks is the classical problem of stacking blocks on a table surface using a robotic arm
• hanoi is the well-known game of the Tower of Hanoi
• elevator represents the problem of transporting people between floors of a building.

You can launch the planner specifying a domain and a problem number (currently 1 to 3):

    planner.rb <domain> <problem_number>

Example:

$ ruby1.9 planner.rb blocks 1

Initial distance = 8 .....
  h =  4 ......
  h =  3 ...............
  h =  2 ....
  h =  0 
SOLUTION: (10 actions)
 unstack(B,A)
 putdown(B)
 pickup(A)
 stack(A,C)
 unstack(A,C)
 putdown(A)
 pickup(C)
 stack(C,B)
 pickup(A)
 stack(A,C)
