MyPDDL: Tools for efficiently creating PDDL domains and problems
The Planning Domain Definition Language (PDDL) is the state-of-the-art language for specifying planning problems in artificial intelligence research. Writing and maintaining these planning problems, however, can be time-consuming and error prone. To address this issue, we present myPDDL-a modular toolkit for developing and manipulating PDDL domains and problems. To evaluate myPDDL, we compare its features to existing knowledge engineering tools for PDDL. In a user test, we additionally assess two of its modules, namely the syntax highlighting feature and the type diagram generator. The users of syntax highlighting detected 36 file. The average time on task for questions on a PDDL type hierarchy was reduced by 48 that myPDDL can support knowledge engineers well in the PDDL design and analysis process.
