Question#1:
Give short answers to the following: [2*5]
a) Briefly describe an event considered as “birth” of the field of Artificial Intelligence?

b) How do you get started if you wanted make an intelligent agent to solve a problem?

c) Mention the properties of the environment for the Mars Rover.

d) Describe the PEAS for the agent playing soccer.

e) Simply fill the table below against the given evaluation criteria. Assume a tree search where
b is the finite branching factor; d is the depth to the shallowest goal node; m is the maximum
depth of the search tree.

Question#2: [8]

Consider that a person has never been to the city airport. It’s early in the morning and assume
that no other person is awake in the town who can guide him on the way. He has to drive on his
car but doesn’t know the way to airport. Clearly identify the four components of problem solving
in the above statement, i.e. problem statement, operators, solution space, and goal state. Should
he follow blind or heuristic search strategy? Try to model the problem in a graphical
representation.

Question#3: [17]
Consider the search graph shown below. Here S is considered as the start state and G is considered as the
goal state. The Edges are labelled with their appropriate cost. Moreover, each node contains the heuristic
values ‘h’ as mentioned inside the nodes. For each of the following searching algorithms, give the
following:

i. The path as a sequence of states; returned , or write “none” if no path returned


ii. The nodes that are added to the graph and expanded in the order.
iii. If there are ties, assume nodes for states which are earlier in the alphabet are expanded first.

b) Depth First Search Algorithm [5]
c) A* Algorithm [5]
d) Is the heuristic value as given in this graph admissible or not? Justify your answer with
reasoning. [2]
