A reproducible grid-world pick-and-place experiment
A five-by-three grid represents carrying an object from the origin to a target. The direct controller moves horizontally then vertically. The search controller avoids blocked cells with a deterministic breadth-first search. Neither models grasp physics, vision, dynamics or real human assistance.
Both run the same six cases: clear path, detour, grasp failure, simulated assistance, insufficient action budget and offset target. The assistance event is a synthetic bookkeeping flag; it does not model an operator correcting the trajectory.
Computed result
direct-v1: 2/6 autonomous; 1 assisted; 3 failed. All 6 planned trials retained.
search-v2: 3/6 autonomous; 1 assisted; 2 failed. All 6 planned trials retained.
The difference is a result on deliberately selected fixtures—not an estimate of real-world robot reliability.
