Agents
• An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through actuators
• Human agent: eyes, ears, and other organs for sensors; hands,
• legs, mouth, and other body parts for actuators• Robotic agent: cameras and infrared range finders for
sensors;various motors for actuators• General assumption: agent can perceive its own action
•

Agents (cont.)• Percept sequence is the complete history of
everything the agent has ever perceived.

Agents and environments
• Agent's behavior is described by the agent function that maps any given percept sequence to an action.
• The agent function maps from percept histories to actions: Tabular representation: a large table for most agents Neural Network Fuzzy Systems
• The agent program runs on the physical architecture to produce f
• agent = architecture + program

Vacuum-cleaner world
• Percepts: location and contents, e.g., [A,Dirty]
• Actions: Left, Right, Suck, NoOp

Rational agents
• An agent should "do the right thing", based on what it can perceive and the actions it can perform. The right action is the one that will cause the agent to be most successful
• Performance measure: An objective criterion for success of an agent's behavior
• E.g., performance measure of a vacuum-cleaner agent could be amount of dirt cleaned up, amount of time taken, amount of electricity consumed, amount of noise generated, etc.
• Note: Design performance measures according to what one actually wants in the environment, rather than according to how one thinks the agent should behave.

What is rational
• The performance measure that defines the criterion of success.
• The agent's prior knowledge of the environment.
• The actions that the agent can perform.
• The agent's percept sequence to date.

Rational agents
• Rational Agent: For each possible percept
sequence, a rational agent should select
an action that is expected to maximize its
performance measure, given the evidence
provided by the percept sequence and
whatever built-in knowledge the agent has.

Omniscience, learning, and autonomy
• Rationality is distinct from omniscience (all-knowing with infinite knowledge)
• Agents can perform actions in order to modify future percepts so as to obtain useful information (information gathering, exploration)
• An agent is autonomous if its behavior is determined by its own experience (with ability to learn and adapt)

Successful agents split the task of computing the agent function into three different periods: During designing: some of the computation is
done by its designers; During deliberating (thinking) on its next
action, the agent does more computation; During learning from experience: it does even
more computation to decide how to modify its behavior.

Task Environment (PEAS)
• PEAS: Performance measure, Environment, Actuators, Sensors
• Consider, e.g., the task of designing an automated taxi driver:– Performance measure– Actions (Actuators)– Percepts (Sensors)–
– Environment•

PEAS
• Agent: Medical diagnosis system Performance measure: Healthy patient,
minimize costs, lawsuits Environment: Patient, hospital, staff Actuators: Screen display (questions, tests,
diagnoses, treatments, referrals) Sensors: Keyboard (entry of symptoms,
findings, patient's answers)

Environment types• Fully observable (vs. partially observable): An agent's sensors give it
access to the complete state of the environment at each point in time.
• Deterministic (vs. stochastic): The next state of the environment is completely determined by the current state and the action executed by the agent. (If the environment is deterministic except for the actions of other agents, then the environment is strategic)
• Episodic (vs. sequential): The agent's experience is divided into atomic "episodes" (each episode consists of the agent perceiving and then performing a single action), and the choice of action in each episode depends only on the episode itself.

19/23
Environment types
• Static (vs. dynamic): The environment is unchanged while an agent is deliberating. (The environment is semidynamic if the environment itself does not change with the passage of time but the agent's performance score does)
• Discrete (vs. continuous): A limited number of distinct, clearly defined percepts and actions.
• Single agent (vs. multiagent): An agent operating by itself in an environment.

• The environment type largely determines the agent design• The real world is (of course) partially observable, stochastic,
sequential, dynamic, continuous, multi-agent

Structure of Agents
• The job of AI: Design the agent program
that implements the agent function
mapping percepts to actions.
• Agent= Architecture +Program
• Program has to be appropriate for the
architecture

Difference between structure and learning or optimization
• Structure: Receive precepts and generate
actions
• Trainer: Tune the parameters of structure
