Class DDPlannerPolicy

java.lang.Object

burlap.behavior.policy.Policy

burlap.behavior.singleagent.planning.deterministic.DDPlannerPolicy

All Implemented Interfaces:

SolverDerivedPolicy

public class DDPlannerPolicy
extends Policy
implements SolverDerivedPolicy

This is a dynamic deterministic valueFunction policy, which means if the source deterministic valueFunction has not already computed and cached the plan for a query state, then this policy will first compute a plan using the valueFunction and then return the answer

Constructor Detail

DDPlannerPolicy

public DDPlannerPolicy()

DDPlannerPolicy

public DDPlannerPolicy(DeterministicPlanner dp)

Initializes with the deterministic valueFunction

Parameters:

dp - the deterministic valueFunction to use for policy generation

Method Detail

setSolver

public void setSolver(MDPSolverInterface solver)

Description copied from interface: SolverDerivedPolicy

Sets the valueFunction whose results affect this policy.

Specified by:

setSolver in interface SolverDerivedPolicy

Parameters:

solver - the solver from which this policy is derived

getAction

public AbstractGroundedAction getAction(State s)

Description copied from class: Policy

This method will return an action sampled by the policy for the given state. If the defined policy is stochastic, then multiple calls to this method for the same state may return different actions. The sampling should be with respect to defined action distribution that is returned by getActionDistributionForState

Specified by:

getAction in class Policy

Parameters:

s - the state for which an action should be returned

Returns:

a sample action from the action distribution; null if the policy is undefined for s

getActionDistributionForState

public java.util.List<Policy.ActionProb> getActionDistributionForState(State s)

Description copied from class: Policy

This method will return action probability distribution defined by the policy. The action distribution is represented by a list of ActionProb objects, each which specifies a grounded action and a probability of that grounded action being taken. The returned list does not have to include actions with probability 0.

Specified by:

getActionDistributionForState in class Policy

Parameters:

s - the state for which an action distribution should be returned

Returns:

a list of possible actions taken by the policy and their probability.

isStochastic

public boolean isStochastic()

Description copied from class: Policy

Indicates whether the policy is stochastic or deterministic.

Specified by:

isStochastic in class Policy

Returns:

true when the policy is stochastic; false when it is deterministic.

isDefinedFor

public boolean isDefinedFor(State s)

Description copied from class: Policy

Specifies whether this policy is defined for the input state.

Specified by:

isDefinedFor in class Policy

Parameters:

s - the input state to test for whether this policy is defined

Returns:

true if this policy is defined for State s, false otherwise.
