linear planner
A linear planner generates a deterministic sequence of actions based on preconditions and effects to achieve a goal in a predictable, step-by-step manner.
A linear planner constructs plans by chaining actions in a straight line, ensuring each action’s preconditions are met before execution and leading incrementally to the goal state.
It uses deterministic state transitions, precondition-effect rules, and simple search strategies like depth-first or heuristic-guided search to form valid action sequences.
Common in robotics, automated planning, and workflow automation, linear planners excel in environments with known actions and clear goals but may struggle with uncertainty or complex dependencies.
