Problem Solving Agents AI

Problem-solving agents are goal-based AI agents that determine actions by searching for sequences leading to a goal. The problem-solving process involves understanding the problem, identifying solutions, executing the best one, and verifying its effectiveness. Various search strategies, both uninformed and informed, are utilized in applications such as pathfinding and game playing.

Problem-Solving Agents in AI

Introduction to Problem-Solving
Agents
• Problem-solving agents are a type of goal-
based agent.
• They decide actions by searching for a
sequence of actions that lead to a goal.
• Used in AI for tasks like pathfinding, game
playing, and automated planning.
Steps in Problem Solving
• 1.Understand the problem
• 2. Identifying the possible solutions
• 3. Choosing the best way to solve it
• 4. Execute the solution
• 5. Checking if the solution worked
Problem Formulation
• Initial State: The starting point of the agent.
• Goal State: The desired outcome.
• Actions: Possible moves or choices.
• Transition Model: Defines results of actions.
• Path Cost: Measures efficiency of a solution.
Example: Pathfinding Problem
• A robot navigating from Point A to Point B.
• Initial State: Starting position of the robot.
• Goal State: Destination position.
• Actions: Move up, down, left, or right.
• Solution: Optimal path using algorithms like
A* search.
Types of Search Strategies
1. Uninformed Search:
• - Breadth-First Search (BFS)
• - Depth-First Search (DFS)
• - Uniform Cost Search (UCS)
2. Informed Search (Heuristic-based):
• - Greedy Best-First Search
• - A* Search
Example: Tic-Tac-Toe AI
• Problem: AI plays Tic-Tac-Toe optimally.
• Initial State: Empty board.
• Goal State: Win or draw.
• Actions: Placing X or O in an empty cell.
• Uses Minimax algorithm for decision making.
Summary
• Problem-solving agents use search algorithms
to find solutions.
• Problem formulation defines states, actions,
and goals.
• Search strategies include uninformed and
informed techniques.
• Real-world applications include pathfinding,
games, and robotics.
