| Abstract | Problem solving is a process to convert the world from an initial state to a goal state. This paper describes an approach that interleaves perception with action in problem solving. We presume that an intelligent agent starts this process with uncertain knowledge about the initial state of the world, a specified goal state, a given set of permissible actions to alter the world state, and a given set of sensors to observe the partially understood world state. The task is to generate and execute a plan to reach a state in which the agent knows that it has reached the goal.Given a problem described by all feasible sequences of actions and perceptions applicable to coverting any given state to the goal state, we demonstrate how to construct plans that can guide both action and perception by achieving a sequence of subgoals and show it is equivalent to decomposing the representation of the problem into components corresponding to achieving subgoals. We first show that feasible sequences of actions can be decomposed into components, independent of perception, for instance through a principal series (in the case of a group, a subnormal series). This leads to subgoals with which certain observables can be associated. On the other hand, the perceptive problem can be decomposed by switching on sensors in series and performing actions that make the perceived state indistinguishable from the goal state. Finally, we show how perception can be intergrated with problem solving; we use perception to guide actions; hence, to reduce the overall cost of problem solving. The ideas are illustrated with problems taken from subgroups of Rubik's Cube; we are currently extending them to arbitrary semi-groups. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
