This assignment allows students to gain experience with defining AI search problems and implementing uninformed and informed search algorithms. Students define the search problems for navigating a subway system, requiring them to define the goal test, cost function, and successor function. Students then implement breadth-first search, depth-first search, and A* search. Finally, the assignment requires students to implement a problem in a completely different domain (the 8-puzzle) in order to demonstrate that the search algorithms will work so long as the problem is correctly defined. Students are given data files for the Boston “T” and London “Tube” systems, including functions to parse these data files and build appropriate data structures. This allows students to focus on the search aspects of the problem, rather than implementing the required graph data structures from the raw data.
