RALPH - Simulated Environment

Description

• The RALPH architecture makes certain strong assumptions about the world that are most easily satisfied in the constrained environment of a simulator.
• The decision-theoretic execution architecture requires that a utility function be available which can determine the utility of every possible state. Obviously, the easiest way to implement this is to know every possible state in advance.
• Another strong assumption is the Markov Assumption, which makes each world state dependent only on the state that immediately preceded it.
