- QUOTE: RTDP combines strengths of heuristic search and DP. Like heuristic search – and unlike conventional DP – it does not have to evaluate the entire state space in order to produce an optimal solution. Like DP – and unlike most heuristic search algorithms – it is applicable to nondeterministic problems. Additionally, RTDP's performance as an anytime algorithm is better than conventional DP and heuristic search algorithms. ARTDP extends these strengths to problems for which a good model is not initially available.

- QUOTE: Existing heuristic search algorithms are not applicable to real-time applications because they cannot commit to a move before an entire solution is found.
