In Section 4.4.1 we introduced belief states to solve sensorless search problems. A sequence of actions solves a sensorless problem if it maps every physical state in the initial belief state b to a goal state. Suppose the agent knows h^ˆ—(s), the true optimal cost of solving the physical state s in the fully observable problem, for every state s in b. Find an admissible heuristic h(b) for the sensorless problem in terms of these costs, and prove its admissibilty. Comment on the accuracy of this heuristic on the sensorless vacuum problem of Figure 4.14. How well does A^ˆ—perform?
