Planning Research at King's is focussed around domain-independent planning. Planning is an active research area within the broader field of Artificial Intelligence, and has strong links with scheduling and optimisation research. The primary problem is the identification of sequences of actions which will achieve specified goals from specified initial conditions. Domain-independent planning, which is concerned with the fundamental principles of planning as an activity, typically concentrating on search techniques, search control techniques and the representation and treatment, within a planning problem, of uncertainty, non-determinism, resources, time, functional interdependence and other issues. Planning has been successfully applied to a range of fielded industrial applications and we actively seek new industrial problems to which planning could be applied.

L-RPG: Introducing a Lifted Forward-Chaining Planner

E-mail Print PDF

L-RPG is a domain-independent Forward-Chaining planner which - unlike many other planners - does not rely on grounding for guiding its search through the search space. The ultimate aim of this planner is to be more scalable than planners which rely on grounding and solve bigger problem instances which cannot currently be solved by state-of-the-art planners due to memory constraints.

OPTIC: Optimising Preferences and Time-Dependent Costs

E-mail Print PDF

OPTIC is a temporal planner for use in problems where plan cost is determined by preferences or time-dependent goal-collection costs.  Such problems arise in a range of interesting situations, from scheduling the delivery of perishable goods, to coordinating order-fulfillment activities in warehouses.
