Learning Agent

A digital computational learning system and corresponding method plan a series of actions to accomplish tasks. The system learns, automatically, a plurality of actor perceiver predictors (APP) nodes. Each APP node is associated with a context, action, and result. The result is expected to be achieved in response to the action being taken as a function of the context having been satisfied. Each APP node is associated with an action-controller that includes an instance of a planner that includes allied planners. The action-controller is associated with a goal state and employs the allied planners to determine a sequence of actions for reaching the goal state. The allied planners enable the system to plan a series of actions to accomplish complex tasks in a manner that is more robust and resilient relative to current state of the art artificial intelligence based learning systems and methods.
