Planning with Smart Objects
Year: 2005
Type: article
Abstract: This paper presents a novel method of employing "smart objects" for problem solving in virtual environments.\nSmart objects were primarily used for behavioral animation in the past. The paper demonstrates how to use them\nfor AI and planning purposes as well. We formally define which operations can be performed on a smart object\nin terms of their requirements and their effects. A planner uses this information to determine the correct\nsequence of actions needed to achieve a goal. This approach enables intelligent agents to solve problems\nrequiring a collaboration of several agents and complex interactions with objects.
