Sussman Anomaly: Fundamentals and Applications

The Sussman anomaly is an issue in artificial intelligence that was first documented by Gerald Sussman. It shows a weakness of noninterleaved planning algorithms, which were popular in the early 1970s. Sussman was the first person to describe the Sussman anomaly. The vast majority of today's planning systems are not limited to noninterleaved planning, and as a result, they are able to deal with this oddity. Even though the relevance and worth of the problem have long since passed into the realm of history, it is nevertheless helpful in elucidating why planning is not an easy task. In the scenario, there are three blocks lying flat on the table. The agent is responsible for stacking the blocks in such a way that A is on top of B, which is on top of C, and so on. On the other hand, it can only move a single block at a time. The issue begins with B being placed on the table, C being placed over A, and A being placed on the table:
