Question

Uncertainty arises in the wumpus world because the agent’s sensors give only ___________

(a) Full & Global information

(b) Partial & Global Information

(c) Partial & local Information

(d) Full & local information

The question was posed to me in an international level competition.

I need to ask this question from Uncertain Knowledge and Reasoning in chapter Uncertain Knowledge and Reasoning of Artificial Intelligence

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Partial & local Information

Best explanation: The Wumpus world is a grid of squares surrounded by walls, where each square can contain agents and objects. The agent (you) always starts in the lower left corner, a square that will be labeled [1, 1]. The agent’s task is to find the gold, return to [1, 1] and climb out of the cave. So uncertainty is there as the agent gives partial and local information only. Global variable are not goal specific problem solving.
