S.No Questions COs

1. Design an A* search algorithm with heuristic functions for a delivery robot 2
navigating a grid-based environment, comparing it with greedy best-first search
in terms of advantages and limitations. Provide pseudocode for A* and
demonstrate its application in finding the shortest path for the robot from the
Initial Position (Green) to Goal Position (Red).

2. Solve the Wumpus World problem using an AI algorithm, which guides the 2
agent from Room [1, 1] to retrieve the treasure while avoiding pits and the
Wumpus. Implement the algorithm's steps in a sample scenario, evaluate its
performance, and discuss any encountered limitations.

3. Discuss the concepts of quantifiers and their types in First-Order Logic (FOL), 3
emphasizing their significance in practical applications. Elucidate the contrast
between the existential quantifier (∃) and the universal quantifier (∀), and
provide examples demonstrating their usage in FOL statements within real-
world scenarios.

4. Compare and contrast First-Order Logic (FOL) with Propositional Logic, 3
emphasizing their respective roles in practical applications. Discuss the
advantages and limitations of First-Order Logic in representing and reasoning
about complex knowledge domains, and provide examples to illustrate its
effectiveness in real-world scenarios.
5. In the realm of agricultural robotics, robotic perception is fundamental for tasks 4
like crop monitoring. Specify a particular agricultural application and detail how
perception techniques like computer vision or sensor fusion aid the robot in
comprehending its environment. Additionally, analyze the challenges and
limitations intrinsic to robotic perception within this agricultural context.

6. Describe the application of reinforcement learning in training a robot for 4
autonomous inspection tasks. Outline the stages of the reinforcement learning
process and examine the challenges encountered when employing reinforcement
learning in the context of autonomous inspection robotics.
