Principles of Artificial IntelligenceA classic introduction to artificial intelligence intended to bridge the gap between theory and practice, Principles of Artificial Intelligence describes fundamental AI ideas that underlie applications such as natural language processing, automatic programming, robotics, machine vision, automatic theorem proving, and intelligent data retrieval. Rather than focusing on the subject matter of the applications, the book is organized around general computational concepts involving the kinds of data structures used, the types of operations performed on the data structures, and the properties of the control strategies used. Principles of Artificial Intelligenceevolved from the author's courses and seminars at Stanford University and University of Massachusetts, Amherst, and is suitable for text use in a senior or graduate AI course, or for individual study. |

1 , we might want to have block A on block B , and block B , in turn , on block C .
Such a goal state ( or rather set of states ) could be expressed by the goal
formula ( ON ( A , B ) A ON ( B , C ) ) . Note that this goal formula certainly cannot

As an example , consider the robot hand and configuration of blocks shown in
Figure 7 . 1 . This situation can be represented by the conjunction of formulas
shown in the figure . The formula CLEAR ( B ) means that block B has a clear top

For example , we need the following assertion to express that the blocks that are
not moved stay in the same position ... state that block u remains clear if block u is
clear when a block v ( not equal to u ) is put on a block w ( not equal to u ) .
