Why Real-World Planning is Difficult

چکیده
While work on AI planning systems dates back to the early 70’s, applications of AI planning systems are few and far between. This paper describes several major obstacles to the fielding of planning systems related to: plan representation and usage, operational contexts of planning systems, and knowledge acquisition and maintenance for planning knowledge. We use examples drawn from our experiences in applying planning and decision support technology to two procedural-reasoning application tasks at JPL: an automated image processing task and an antenna control task.

متن کاملPlans Are Worthless but Planning Is Everything: A Theoretical Explanation of Eisenhower’s Observation
The 1953-1961 US President Dwight D. Eisenhower emphasized that his experience as the Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Forces in Europe during the Second World War taught him that “plans are worthless, but planning is everything”. This sound contradictory: if plans are worthless, why bother with planning at all? In this paper, we show that Eisenhower’s observation has a meaning: wh...
متن کاملContinual HTN Robot Task Planning in Open-Ended Domains: A Case Study
The fact that many AI planning approaches are still based on too simplifying assumptions makes it often hard to apply these approaches to real-world robotics. In particular, it is in many cases difficult to generate a complete plan in advance, because not all information is available at the beginning of the planning process. We briefly present the continual planning system ACogPlan and a prelim...
متن کاملAn Approach to a Knowledge Reconstruction Engine for Supporting Event Planning
The main goal of our research is to establish “methodology for investigation of event” and to construct “a knowledge reconstruction system” to provide event planners with “chances” to design effective and attractive events. The methodology described here is to articulate gaps between event planners’ intention and event visitors’ mental impression at real event sites. Visitors’ interactions with...
متن کاملReal-Time Collaborative Planning with the Crowd
Planning is vital to a wide range of domains, including robotics, military strategy, logistics, itinerary generation and more, that both humans and computers find difficult. Collaborative planning holds the promise of greatly improving performance on these tasks by leveraging the strengths of both humans and automated planners. However, this requires formalizing the problem domain and input, wh...
