Planning Algorithms

Published:

Planning algorithms help AI agents and robots decide which actions to take and in what order so they can reach a specific goal. The planner starts with a description of the current situation, the actions that are possible, and the goal the system needs to achieve. It then explores different action sequences to find one that succeeds, often trying to minimize cost or risk at the same time.

These algorithms are used in robotics, logistics, games, and autonomous systems where deciding on the next step is essential. Some planning methods work with symbolic rules, while others handle continuous environments such as navigation or object manipulation. Planning algorithms often work alongside perception and control systems so the agent can adapt its plan when new information appears.
