English vs. Czech

Recordings

We have decided to give you access to our tutorial recordings from 2021 when the course was fully online. The provided recordings are in Czech.

Topic Recording
1. STRIPS, FDR recording
2. PDDL recording
3. Relaxation heuristics recording, Corrected h^add computation
4. Landmark heuistics recording
5. LP based heuristics recording
6. Exercises recording
7. Abstraction heuristics recording
8. Neural Planning + consultations recording
9. Intro to MDPs recording
10. Value Iteration and Friends recording
11. Simple Temporal Networks recording
12. MCTS, UCT recording

Planner

We recommend using the Fast Downward planner for the experiments. You will also need it for the second homework assignment to translate planning tasks specified in PDDL to the FDR/SAS+ representation. The instructions on using prebuilt binaries can be found here.
