Heuristic Search

Heuristic Search is a problem-solving strategy in artificial intelligence and path planning that belongs to the class of search algorithms which use domain-specific knowledge to guide the search process, distinguished by its employment of a heuristic function to estimate the cost to reach the goal, thereby prioritizing paths that are likely to lead to an optimal or near-optimal solution more efficiently than uninformed methods.
