Incremental STRIPS Planning Encodings

This suite of incremental STRIPS planning encodings implements diverse methods. The included encoding files provide the following functionalities:

Encodings

preprocess.lp: static analysis of potentially relevant actions

  • Parameters: _closure (default value: 3)
    • Value 1: forward chaining of effects w.r.t. initial variable values
    • Value 2: backward regression of effects w.r.t. goal variable values
    • Value 3: both forward chaining and backward regression of effects
    • Otherwise: off (simply take all actions as given)

strips-incremental.lp: sequential and parallel planning encoding variants

  • Parameters: _parallel (default value: 0)
    • Value 1: “forall” parallel actions that can be arranged in any sequence
    • Value 2: “exists” parallel actions that can be arranged in some sequence
    • Otherwise: sequential actions

redundancy.lp: enforcement of redundant actions to constrain parallel plans

  • Remarks:
    • Only relevant together with parallel actions
    • Encoded constraints seem rather ineffective though
    • Heavy space overhead in combination with “exists” parallel actions

postprocess.lp: plan feasibility checking and conversion to sequential plan

Usage Examples

Some example invocations (using clingo 5.1.0) are as follows:
