The MacGyver Test - A Framework for Evaluating Machine Resourcefulness and Creative Problem Solving

Artificial Intelligence 2017-04-28 v1

Abstract

Current measures of machine intelligence are either difficult to evaluate or lack the ability to test a robot's problem-solving capacity in open worlds. We propose a novel evaluation framework based on the formal notion of MacGyver Test which provides a practical way for assessing the resilience and resourcefulness of artificial agents.
