TLDR
Examples of the ABSTRIPS system's performance are presented that demonstrate the significant increases in problem-solving power that this approach provides, and some further implications of the hierarchical planning approach are explored.

Intelligent Agents: Theory and Practice

TL;DR: Agent theory is concerned with the question of what an agent is, and the use of mathematical formalisms for representing and reasoning about the properties of agents as discussed by the authors ; agent architectures can be thought of as software engineering models of agents; and agent languages are software systems for programming and experimenting with agents.

Between MDPs and semi-MDPs: a framework for temporal abstraction in reinforcement learning

TL;DR: It is shown that options enable temporally abstract knowledge and action to be included in the reinforcement learning frame- work in a natural and general way and may be used interchangeably with primitive actions in planning methods such as dynamic pro- gramming and in learning methodssuch as Q-learning.

Some philosophical problems from the standpoint of artificial intelligence

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors consider the problem of reasoning about whether a strategy will achieve a goal in a deterministic world and present a method to construct a sentence of first-order logic which will be true in all models of certain axioms if and only if a certain strategy can achieve a certain goal.

Strips: A new approach to the application of theorem proving to problem solving

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a problem solver called STRIPS that attempts to find a sequence of operators in a space of world models to transform a given initial world model in which a given goal formula can be proven to be true.

Learning and executing generalized robot plans

TL;DR: Some major new additions to the STRIPS robot problem-solving system are described, including a process for generalizing a plan produced by STriPS so that problem-specific constants appearing in the plan are replaced by problem-independent parameters.
