Planimation
This addresses the need for better visualization tools in AI planning, but it is incremental as it builds on existing PDDL specifications without fundamentally changing the field.
The authors tackled the problem of visualizing sequential solutions for planning problems specified in PDDL by developing Planimation, a modular open-source framework that introduces a declarative animation profile to synthesize animations for arbitrary initial states and goals with a single profile.
Planimation is a modular and extensible open source framework to visualise sequential solutions of planning problems specified in PDDL. We introduce a preliminary declarative PDDL-like animation profile specification, expressive enough to synthesise animations of arbitrary initial states and goals of a benchmark with just a single profile.
