TERMINOLOGIES

 Agent
 Perception
 Autonomous Agent
 Environment Properties
 fully observable vs. partially observable
 deterministic vs. non-deterministic
 episodic vs. sequential
 static vs. dynamic
 single vs. multiple
 agents
 PEAS

 PEAS: Performance measure, Environment, Actuators, Sensors

 Must first specify the setting for intelligent agent design
 Consider, e.g., the task of designing an automated taxi driver:
 Performance measure
 Environment
 Actuators
 Sensors
 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)

PEAS

 Agent: Part-picking robot

 Performance measure: Percentage of parts in correct bins
 Environment: Conveyor belt with parts, bins
 Actuators: Jointed arm and hand
 Sensors: Camera, joint angle sensors
 PEAS

 Agent: Interactive English tutor

 Performance measure:

 AGENTS TYPES

 Four basic types in order of increasing generality:

 Simple reflex agents

 Model-based reflex agents
 Goal-based agents
 Utility-based agents
 Learning Agents
