LAO* is a heuristic search algorithm that can find optimal solutions for MDPs without evaluating the entire state space, and takes the form of a cyclic graph,that is, a solution with loops.
State space search involves finding a path from the initial state of a search problem to a goal state.
"Classical AI planning is concerned with the generation of plans to achieve a set of pre-defined goals in situations where most relevant conditions in the outside world are known, and where the plan's success is not affected by changes in the outside world" Qiang Yang.
