Monkey and banana problem

The ceiling is just the right height so that a monkey standing on a chair could knock the bananas down with the stick.

The monkey knows how to move around, carry other things around, reach for the bananas, and wave a stick in the air.

Both humans and monkeys have the ability to use mental maps to remember things like where to go to find shelter, or how to avoid danger.

The example set of rules that CLIPS provides is somewhat fragile in that naive changes to the rulebase that might seem to a human of average intelligence to make common sense can cause the engine to fail to get the monkey to reach the banana.

[3] Other examples exist using Rules Based System (RBS) a project implemented in Python.
