Study Notes
Agent Types and Problem-Solving
- Simple reflex agents use atomic representations and do not consider internal structure visible to the problem-solving algorithms.
- Model-based reflex agents and goal-based agents consider future actions and the desirability of their outcomes.
- Uninformed search algorithms are given no information about the problem other than its definition.
- Planning agents use more advanced factored or structured representations.
Problem-Solving Steps
- The first step in problem-solving is problem formulation.
- The agent's performance measure contains the desirability of the outcome of its actions.
Goal-Based Agents
- In the given situation, it makes sense for the agent to adopt the goal of getting to Bucharest, as it is a specific and desirable outcome.
- The process of deciding what actions and states to consider, given a goal, is known as planning.
- Goals help organize behavior by limiting the objectives that the agent is trying to achieve and hence the actions it needs to consider.
Handling Uncertainty
- In this chapter, conditional plans are used to handle the more general case where the agent's future actions may vary depending on future percepts.
