Study Notes
Agent Types
- There are several types of agents, including:
- Simple reflex agents
- Operate based on a simple "if-then" rule format
- Take actions based on the current percept or input without considering past states or future consequences
- Model-based reflex agents
- Maintain an internal model or representation of the world
- Use this model to make decisions by considering past states, current percepts, and anticipated future states
- Goal-based agents
- Have predefined goals or objectives that guide their decision-making process
- Take actions that are expected to move them closer to achieving their goals
- Utility-based agents
- Make decisions by evaluating the utility or desirability of different actions
- Choose actions that maximize their expected utility or reward
- Learning agents
- Can adapt and improve their behavior over time through learning mechanisms
- Acquire knowledge and skills from experience, feedback, and training data
- Simple reflex agents
Agent Functions
- The agent function maps from percept histories to actions
- The agent function, implemented by an agent program running on a machine, describes what the agent does in all circumstances
- The agent function depends on the machine as well as the program
- Real machines have limited speed and memory, introducing delay, so agent function f depends on M as well as l
PEAS (Performance Measure, Environment, Actuators, Sensors)
- PEAS descriptions define task environments
- Precise PEAS specifications are essential and strongly influence agent designs
- Yield design constraints
- Examples of PEAS include:
- Automated taxi system
- Performance measure: income, happy customer, vehicle costs, fines, insurance premiums
- Environment: streets, other drivers, customers, weather, police
- Actuators: steering, brake, gas, display/speaker
- Sensors: camera, radar, accelerometer, engine sensors, microphone, GPS
- Medical diagnosis system
- Performance measure: patient health, cost, reputation
- Environment: patients, medical staff, insurers
- Actuators: screen display, email (questions, tests, diagnoses, treatments, referrals)
- Sensors: keyboard/mouse (entry of symptoms, findings, patient's answers)
- Pac-man game
- Performance measure: -1 per step, +10 food, +500 win, -500 die, +200 hit scared ghost
- Environment: Pacman dynamics (include ghost behavior)
- Actuators: left, right, up, down
- Sensors: entire state is visible (except power pellet duration)
- Automated taxi system
Rationality
- A rational agent is the one that does the right thing
- In order to know the right thing, we need to know the performance measure
- A rational agent chooses whichever action maximizes the expected value of the performance measure
- Given the percept sequence to date and prior knowledge of the environment
- Rational agents are not omniscient, they are limited by the available percepts
- Rational agents are not clairvoyant, they may lack knowledge of the environment dynamics
- Rational agents explore and learn in unknown environments
- Rational agents do not make mistakes, but their actions may be unsuccessful
- Rational agents are autonomous, as they learn, their behavior depends more on their own experience
Agent Design
- The environment type largely determines the agent design
- Partially observable environments require agents with memory (internal state)
- Stochastic environments require agents to prepare for contingencies
- Multi-agent environments require agents to behave randomly
- Static environments allow agents to compute a rational decision
- Continuous time environments require continuously operating controllers
- Unknown physics require agents to explore and learn
- Unknown performance measures require agents to observe/interact with human principals
Other Agent Types
- Table-driven agents: use a predefined table or lookup mechanism to make decisions based on input-output mappings
- Intelligent agents: combine various characteristics from previous types, exhibiting autonomy, adaptability, and problem-solving capabilities
- Mobile agents: software entities that can move autonomously between different computing environments, carrying out tasks and interacting with local resources
- Multi-agent systems: consist of multiple agents that interact with each other to achieve common goals or tasks
