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

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)

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
