Introduction
Welcome to our Wumpus World Solver Project! We are Rohit, Richard, and Sathya and for our Minds and Machines class we we're tasked to tackle the Wumpus World Game.
This project explores how artificial intelligence (AI) can be applied to solve the classic “Wumpus World” problem—a game-like environment where an agent (the robot) navigates through a grid filled with hazards such as pits and a lurking Wumpus monster. The goal? Retrieve the hidden gold and return to the starting point safely.
Our approach leverages a rule-based AI agent that makes logical decisions using its knowledge of the environment. As it explores, the robot identifies safe spaces, avoids hazards, and uses strategic backtracking to find the optimal path to success. This project showcases the intersection of logic, programming, and AI problem-solving.
Field Items in Wumpus World
Field Items in Wumpus World
Pits: Deadly holes that kill the player instantly if they step into the cell. A “breeze” signal in adjacent cells warns of their presence.
Wumpus: A stationary monster that kills the player if they enter its cell. A “stench” signal in adjacent cells warns of the Wumpus. The player can kill the Wumpus by shooting an arrow.
Gold: The treasure the player must retrieve to win the game. Its presence in a cell is indicated by a “glitter” signal. The player must grab it to carry it back to the starting point.
Empty Spaces: Safe cells with no hazards or gold. They allow the player to move freely.
