INTELLIGENT AGENTS
Agents
An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through actuators
Human agent: Sensors: eyes, ears, etc. Actuators: hands, legs, mouth
Robotic agent: Sensors: cameras and infrared range finders Actuators: various motors

Rational agents
An agent should strive to “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.?
Measures of success
Performance measure: An objective criterion for success of an agent's behavior based on the observed sequence of environmental states . Why environmental states and not agent states?
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 degree of cleanliness of the room, etc.
Performance measure
Sometimes called reward or goal
Quantitative! Must be able to give it a number
General rule: Design the performance measure based on
what you want to achieve in the environment, rather than how you want the agent to behave.
Vacuum example: amount of dirt cleaned up … what happens?
Rational agents (refined definition) 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.
Rational agents
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)
PEAS
PEAS: Performance measure, Environment, Actuators, Sensors
Consider the task of designing an automated taxi driver: Performance measure Environment Actuators Sensors
Intelligent Agent Design Using PEAS
Designing an automated taxi driver:
Performance measure: Safe, fast, legal, comfortable trip, maximize profits
Environment: Roads, other traffic, pedestrians, customers
Actuators: Steering wheel, accelerator, brake, signal, horn
Sensors: Cameras, sonar, speedometer, GPS, odometer, engine sensors, keyboard
