. The vacuum cleaner problem is a well-known search problem for a vacuum cleaner robot that works on Artificial Intelligence. In this problem to clean up the whole area. In the superficial world, the vacuum cleaner agent has a location sensor and a dirt sensor to know where it is (room A, room B, or any n room) and whether the room is dirty. Also, the robot needs to avoid the obstacle (stool) and find a new path. A possible performance measure is to maximize the number of clean rooms over a certain period.
For this problem, four main conditions should be considered:
in(x,y) means a robot at (x,y)
dirt(x,y) means there is a dirt at(x,y)
facing(d) means the robot is facing direction d, where d ={north, east, south, west} • hit(s) means the robot hits the obstacle s
possible actions the robot can do - turn, forward, suck-dirt, avoid
a) Write possible rules that can be used to perform the room cleaning plan
b) Execute this plan…
Is it conceivable, via the use of a variety of strategies, that the overhead caused by NPT might be reduced?
parallel programming:
Prove that there cannot be a deadlock if resources are linearly ordered and processes always acquire them in order.

Each node is labeled by a capital letter and the value of a heuristic function. Each edge is labeled by the cost to traverse that edge. Perform A*, UCS, and BFS on this graph. Indicate the f, g, and h values of each node for the A*. e.g., S = 0 + 6 = 6 (i.e. S = g(S) + h(S) = f(S)). Additionally, show how the priority queue changes with time. Show the order in which the nodes are visited for BFS and UCS. Show the path found by the A*, UCS, and BFS algorithms on the graph above. Make this example inadmissible by changing the heuristic value at one of the nodes. What node do you choose and what heuristic value do you assign? What would be the A* algorithm solution then.arrow_forward
