Agents all together!

Decision-Making in Intelligent Agents


Problem Solving
• State Space: The set of all possible states in which an agent can exist.
• Actions: The possible moves an agent can make.
• Goal Test: A method to determine whether a given state satisfies the
goal.
• Path Cost: A function that assigns a cost to each path taken by the
agent.
Search Algorithms
1.Uninformed Search: Strategies that do not have additional information
about states (e.g., breadth-first search, depth-first search).
2.Informed Search: Strategies that use domain knowledge to find
solutions more efficiently (e.g., A* algorithm).
Decision-Theoretic Agents
• Agents that make decisions based on probabilities and expected
utilities, balancing risks and rewards.
Applications of Intelligent Agents
1.Robotics: Autonomous robots that navigate and perform tasks
in dynamic environments.
2.Natural Language Processing: Chatbots and virtual assistants
that can understand and respond to human language.
3.Game AI: Intelligent agents that can play games at a high level,
adapting strategies based on opponents.
4.Recommendation Systems: Services that suggest products or
content to users based on their preferences and behaviors.
5.Smart Homes: Systems that manage household devices to
optimize energy use, security, and comfort.
Challenges in Intelligent Agents
1.Complexity: Managing the complexity of real-world
environments and interactions.
2.Uncertainty: Dealing with incomplete or noisy information.
3.Scalability: Ensuring that agents can handle increasing amounts
of data and interactions.
4.Ethics and Safety: Addressing moral implications and ensuring
the safety of autonomous systems.
characteristics of intelligent agents
Autonomy:
• The ability of an agent to operate independently without human intervention.
Autonomous agents can make decisions based on their perceptions and goals.
1.Perception:
=>The capability to sense and interpret information from the environment. This
includes gathering data through sensors (for robots) or data inputs (for software
agents).
3.Reasoning:
• The ability to process information, draw inferences, and make decisions based on
knowledge and evidence. Intelligent agents use reasoning to solve problems and plan
actions.
4.Learning:
• The capability to improve performance over time based on experience. Intelligent
agents can adapt their strategies and actions based on feedback from their
environment.
5.Goal-oriented behavior:
• The tendency to act in ways that will achieve specific objectives. Intelligent agents are
designed to pursue goals, whether they are predefined or learned through experience.

6. Social ability: The capacity to interact and communicate with other agents and
humans. This includes collaboration, negotiation, and understanding social cues.
7. Reactivity: The ability to respond to changes in the environment in a timely
manner. Reactive agents can adapt their actions based on new information or
changes in their surroundings.
8. Persistence:The capability to maintain actions or states over time to achieve
long-term goals. Persistent agents can plan and execute sequences of actions that
may take time to complete.
9. Deliberation: The process of considering various options and their potential
outcomes before taking action. Deliberative agents analyze situations and
reflect on their choices.
10:Robustness: The ability to operate reliably in a variety of conditions and
handle unexpected situations. Robust agents can maintain functionality despite
uncertainties or disturbances in their environment.
Difference between software and intelligent agents

Software Agents
1.A software agent is a computer program that acts autonomously to
perform tasks on behalf of a user or another program. They can be simple
scripts or more complex applications.
2.Characteristics:
• Autonomy: Operate without human intervention to some extent.
• Task-Oriented: Designed to perform specific tasks.
• Communication: Can communicate with other software agents or systems,
often using predefined protocols.
• Reactivity: Respond to changes in their environment but may not adapt or
learn from experiences.

Where as Intelligent Agents


Intelligent Agents
1.Definition: An intelligent agent is a type of software agent that possesses some
level of intelligence, often characterized by the ability to learn, reason, and adapt to
new situations.
2.Characteristics:
• Autonomy: Like software agents, they operate independently but often with more
sophisticated decision-making capabilities.
• Learning: Can improve their performance over time through learning from
experiences (e.g., using machine learning algorithms).
• Reasoning: Capable of reasoning about their environment and making decisions
based on complex criteria.
• Adaptability: Can adjust their behavior based on changing conditions or new
information.
