PDDL (Planning Domain Definition Language)

PDDL, or Planning Domain Definition Language, is a standard used for defining the tasks that automated planning systems can solve. It describes the actions, objects, and goals in a specific problem area, allowing software to understand how to achieve those goals by selecting and sequencing actions. Think of it as a blueprint that outlines how to plan a series of steps for a robot or computer to accomplish a task, considering various conditions and constraints. PDDL helps researchers and developers create more effective and intelligent planning systems in areas like robotics and artificial intelligence.
