Strategic Planning in Artificial Intelligence !
Introduction: Planning is a fundamental aspect of human intelligence that involves setting goals, developing strategies, and making decisions about the actions required to achieve those goals. In Artificial Intelligence (AI), planning is a core area of research that focuses on how intelligent agents can make decisions autonomously to accomplish tasks efficiently. AI planning involves devising a sequence of actions to transition from an initial state to a goal state while considering constraints, resources, and uncertainties. This chapter provides an in-depth discussion of AI planning, its components, methodologies, applications, and current challenges. 2. Overview of AI Planning Planning in AI refers to the process of generating a strategy or action sequence to achieve specific goals in a defined environment. The environment can be dynamic, uncertain, or highly structured, and the task of an intelligent agent is to navigate this environment successfully. AI planning is oft
