STRIPS

Systems for Planning

Published in Adrian A. Hopgood, Intelligent Systems for Engineers and Scientists, 2021

Like all classical planning systems, STRIPS is based upon the creation of a world model. The world model comprises a number of objects as well as operators that can be applied to those objects so as to change the world model. So, for instance, given an object alloy block, the operator turn (i.e., on a lathe) can be applied so as to create a new object called turbine disk. The problem to be tackled is to determine a sequence of operators that will take the world model from an initial state to a goal state.

In artificial intelligence, planning is the branch that concerns itself with calculating the right sequence of operations to achieve a goal. The STRIPS model, invented by Richard Fikes and Nils Nilsson in 1971, helps to describe actions, to describe a goal using a well-formed formula, and to calculate actions to achieve this goal. Planning algorithms allow systems to autonomously adapt to different situations. They are used in numerous industrial systems… and even in the Hubble telescope!

Proposed for the first time in 1998 (Ghallab et al., 1998), PDDL is mainly inspired by Strips (Fikes & Nilsson, 1971) (STanford Research Institute Problem Solver) and Adl (Pednault, 1994) (Action Description Language). It expresses planning problems in two files: (1) the domain file describing the operators, and (2) the problem file describing the initial state and the goal.
