A SNePS Approach to The Wumpus World Agent or Cassie Meets the Wumpus
Stuart C. Shapiro, Michael Kandefer · 2005
We demonstrate the use of SNeRE, the acting component of the SNePS knowledge representation, reasoning, and acting system, by showing its use to implement a wumpus world agent [Russell and Norvig, 1995]1. For this purpose, we use SNePS 2.6.2, which consists of SNePS 2.6.1 [Shapiro et al., 2004] plus some patch files. We usually name our SNePSbased agents Cassie [Shapiro, 1989; 1998; Shapiro and Ismail, 2003; Shapiro et al., 2000; Shapiro and Rapaport, 1987; 1991]. To distinguish Cassie in the role of the wumpus world agent, we will call her CassieW. Our main motivation in developing intelligent systems is to model general human-level intelligence, not to maximize the use of computing power to optimize problem solving. CassieW has been developed accordingly.
