How AI Agents Plan Actions (Planning Algorithms)

1. What is Planning in AI?

Planning = thinking before acting.

An AI Agent imagines future steps before doing anything.

Goal: Find a sequence of actions that leads from the current state to the desired goal state.

Example:

- Goal: Reach the kitchen.

- Plan: 'Stand up -> Walk to the door -> Open door -> Walk to kitchen.'

2. Why Planning is Important

- Efficiency: Avoids random or useless actions.

- Goal Achievement: Ensures the agent reaches a defined goal.

- Adaptability: Can re-plan if obstacles appear.

- Scalability: Helps handle complex, multi-step problems.

3. Key Components of Planning

- Initial State: Where the agent starts.

- Goal State: What the agent wants to achieve.

- Actions: All possible moves the agent can take.

- Transition Model: Rules for how actions change the state.

- Plan: A chosen sequence of actions to reach the goal.

4. Common Planning Algorithms

- Breadth-First Search (BFS): Explores all actions level by level. Guaranteed to find the shortest
path, but slow for large problems.

- Depth-First Search (DFS): Explores one path deeply before trying others. Faster but might miss

the best solution.

- A*: Uses both cost (past actions) + heuristic (future guess) to find the best path efficiently. Very

popular!

- Heuristic Search: Uses smart guesses to explore only promising paths.

5. Example: A* Search Simplified

Goal: Reach point B from point A on a map.

How A* works:

- f(n) = g(n) + h(n)

- g(n): Cost so far (distance from start).

- h(n): Estimated distance to goal.

At each step, A* picks the path with the lowest f(n) to explore next!

Summary

AI Agents use planning algorithms to choose smart actions ahead of time.

Good planning = faster, better, more reliable agents!
