Blocks world
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Block World" redirects here. For the Xbox 360 video game, see CraftWorld.
The blocks world is one of the most famous planning domains in artificial intelligence. Imagine a set of cubes (blocks) sitting on a table. The goal is to build one or more vertical stacks of blocks. The catch is that only one block may be moved at a time: it may either be placed on the table or placed atop another block. Because of this, any blocks that are, at a given time, under another block cannot be moved.
The simplicity of this toy world lends itself readily to symbolic or classical A.I. approaches, in which the world is modeled as a set of abstract symbols which may be reasoned about.
Theses/projects which took place in Blocks World:
- Terry Winograd's SHRDLU
- Patrick Winston's structural concept learner
It is shown that the best version of blocks world is NP-hard.[1]
