Agents in Artificial Intelligence
An AI system can be defined as the study of
the rational agent and its environment. The
agents sense the environment through
sensors and act on their environment
through actuators. An AI agent can have
mental properties such as knowledge, belief,
intention, etc.
What is an Agent?
An agent can be anything that perceive its
environment through sensors and act upon
that environment through actuators. An
Agent runs in the cycle
of perceiving, thinking, and acting. An
agent can be:
•Human-Agent: A human agent has
eyes, ears, and other organs which
work for sensors and hand, legs,
vocal tract work for actuators.
•Robotic Agent: A robotic agent can
have cameras, infrared range finder,
NLP for sensors and various motors
for actuators.
•Software Agent: Software agent
can have keystrokes, file contents as
sensory input and act on those
inputs and display output on the
screen.
•Hence the world around us is full of
agents such as thermostat,
cellphone, camera, and even we are
also agents.
•Before moving forward, we should
first know about sensors, effectors,
and actuators.
•Sensor: Sensor is a device which detects the
change in the environment and sends the
information to other electronic devices. An agent
observes its environment through sensors.
•Actuators: Actuators are the component of
machines that converts energy into motion. The
actuators are only responsible for moving and
controlling a system. An actuator can be an
electric motor, gears, rails, etc.
•Effectors: Effectors are the devices which affect
the environment. Effectors can be legs, wheels,
arms, fingers, wings, fins, and display screen.
•
•Intelligent Agents:
•An intelligent agent is an autonomous entity which act upon an environment using
•sensors and actuators for achieving goals. An intelligent agent may learn from the
•environment to achieve their goals. A thermostat is an example of an intelligent agent.
•Following are the main four rules for an AI agent:
•Rule 1: An AI agent must have the ability to perceive the environment.
•Rule 2: The observation must be used to make decisions.
•Rule 3: Decision should result in an action.
•Rule 4: The action taken by an AI agent must be a rational action.
•Structure of an AI Agent
•The task of AI is to design an agent program which implements the agent
function.
•The structure of an intelligent agent is a combination of architecture and
agent program.
•It can be viewed as:
•Agent = Architecture + Agent program
•Following are the main three terms involved in the structure of an AI agent:
•Architecture: Architecture is machinery that an AI agent executes on.
•Agent Function: Agent function is used to map a percept to an action.
•Agent program: Agent program is an implementation of agent function. An
agent program executes on the physical architecture to produce function f.
•PEAS Representation
•PEAS is a type of model on which an AI agent works upon. When we define an
AI agent or rational agent, then we can group its properties under PEAS
representation model. It is made up of four words:
•P: Performance measure
•E: Environment
•A: Actuators
•S: Sensors
PEAS for self-
driving cars:
•Let's suppose a self-driving car
then PEAS representation will be:
•Performance: Safety, time, legal
drive, comfort
•Environment: Roads, other
vehicles, road signs, pedestrian
•Actuators: Steering, accelerator,
brake, signal, horn
•Sensors: Camera, GPS,
speedometer, odometer,
accelerometer, sonar.

Types of AI Agents
Simple Reflex Agent
Model-based reflex agent
Goal-based agents
Utility-based agent
Learning agent
•1. Simple Reflex agent:
•The Simple reflex agents are the simplest agents. These
agents take decisions on the basis of the current percepts and
ignore the rest of the percept history.
•These agents only succeed in the fully observable
environment.
•The Simple reflex agent does not consider any part of
percepts history during their decision and action process.
•The Simple reflex agent works on Condition-action rule, which
means it maps the current state to action. Such as a Room
Cleaner agent, it works only if there is dirt in the room.
•Problems for the simple reflex agent design approach:
• They have very limited intelligence
• They do not have knowledge of non-perceptual parts
of the current state
• Mostly too big to generate and to store.
• Not adaptive to changes in the environment.
•The Model-based agent can work in a partially
observable environment, and track the situation.
•A model-based agent has two important factors:
• Model: It is knowledge about "how things
happen in the world," so it is called a Model-
based agent.
• Internal State: It is a representation of the
current state based on percept history.
•These agents have the model, "which is knowledge
of the world" and based on the model they perform
actions.
•Updating the agent state requires information
about:
• How the world evolves
• How the agent's action affects the world.
•3. Goal-based agents
•The knowledge of the current state environment is
not always sufficient to decide for an agent to what
to do.
•The agent needs to know its goal which describes
desirable situations.
•Goal-based agents expand the capabilities of the
model-based agent by having the "goal" information.
•They choose an action, so that they can achieve the
goal.
•These agents may have to consider a long sequence
of possible actions before deciding whether the goal
is achieved or not. Such considerations of different
scenario are called searching and planning, which
makes an agent proactive.
•
•4. Utility-based agents
•These agents are similar to the goal-based
agent but provide an extra component of utility
measurement which makes them different by
providing a measure of success at a given state.
•Utility-based agent act based not only goals but
also the best way to achieve the goal.
•The Utility-based agent is useful when there are
multiple possible alternatives, and an agent has
to choose in order to perform the best action.
•The utility function maps each state to a real
number to check how efficiently each action
achieves the goals.
•
•5. Learning Agents
•A learning agent in AI is the type of agent which can learn from its
past experiences, or it has learning capabilities.
•It starts to act with basic knowledge and then able to act and adapt
automatically through learning.
•A learning agent has mainly four conceptual components, which are:
• Learning element: It is responsible for making improvements
by learning from environment
• Critic: Learning element takes feedback from critic which
describes that how well the agent is doing with respect to a
fixed performance standard.
• Performance element: It is responsible for selecting external
action
• Problem generator: This component is responsible for
suggesting actions that will lead to new and informative
experiences.
•Hence, learning agents are able to learn, analyze performance, and
look for new ways to improve the performance.
•
•A problem-solving agent in AI is an intelligent entity that can
perceive its environment, reason about it, and take actions to
achieve specific goals. These agents are designed to handle various
types of problems by following a structured process. Here’s an
overview of the characteristics, components, and functioning of a
problem-solving agent:
•Characteristics of a Problem-Solving Agent
•Autonomy: Operates independently based on its reasoning and
decision-making capabilities.
•Goal-Oriented: Aims to achieve specific objectives or solve defined
problems.
•Adaptive: Can adjust its strategies based on feedback and changes
in the environment.
•Rationality: Makes decisions that maximize its chances of
achieving its goals based on available information.
Component of a Problem Solving
Agent
• Perceptual System: Gathers data from the environment through sensors,
allowing the agent to understand its current state.
• Knowledge Base: Contains information about the environment, rules,
and previously solved problems, which helps the agent in reasoning.
• Reasoning Mechanism: Processes the information and knowledge to
draw conclusions or make decisions. This can include algorithms for
search, optimization, or logical reasoning.
• Action Selection: Determines the best course of action based on the
reasoning process, often considering multiple potential actions and their
outcomes.
• Learning Component: In more advanced agents, this allows them to
improve over time by learning from past experiences and data.
