Heuristics
- A* Heuristics introduction with visualizations and optimality comparisons. — Patrick Dillon
- A consistent heuristic (or monotone) is admissible and always incrementally approaches the goal. "It's necessary and sufficient for a heuristic to obey the triangle inequality in order to be consistent." — Patrick Dillon
PDDL Planning tips
All planners were not created equal. FF handles most PDDL files. Parse errors in the others can be fixed by rewriting your grammar to remove:
- Constants
- Axioms
- Complex (non-atomic) types
- The 'or' conjunction
In general, a grammar with many actions with few arguments will work 'better' than a grammar with few actions with many arguments. If you get stuck, just make the actions as simple as possible and use lots of them.
Interesting Links:
I'm not sure which is worse, that there's a facebook page for Satplan or that I'm the only one who currently likes it.
