A child walking for the first time. Novelty is easiest agent-relative. A problem is novel for an agent if there is no prior experiences of techniques which work to solve it.

Is that a completely novel problem? Babies spend roughly a year watching us walk before they do so.

Walking is actually innate behaviour, it just occurs relatively late in maturation for humans.
