Vaguely disappointed, I thought that this would be an implementation of PLANNER. Still cool though.

- rcfox 13y agoCan you give a link to what you're talking about? Searching for "PLANNER" without any extra context seems futile.
- Houshalter 13y agoWikipedia's disambiguation pages are good for things like this. I found this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planner_programming_language https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Planner_programming_language
- pnathan 13y agoThe PLANNER system is a similar system that is heavily referenced in the AI literature of the 70s/80s. PLANNER was a tool that let you (handwaving starting) specify a world, transitions for the world state, and then spcify an end goal. PLANNER would find the way to go from start to goal. Prolog is a weakened form of PLANNER, if I understand my AI history correctly. If you rummage around the "Good Old Fashioned AI" history, you'll get a good feel for what it can do.
