Intelligent Agent
An agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through
sensors and acting upon that environment through actuators shown in Figure[1]

Good behaviour
1. Rationality: Agent selects action which
maximizes the performance
2. Learn: Agent should learn from perceive
sequences
3. Omniscient: Agent should know the
outcome of its actions
4. Autonomous: Agent should compensate
for half/inaccurate knowledge

Nature of environments
• Specifying the task environment
• task environment specification
includes the performance measure,
the external environment, the
actuators, and the sensors

Nature of environments
• Task performance can be measured
by following parameters
1. PEAS (Performance, Environment,
Actuators, Sensors) description
