Intelligent Agents and Environments
Intelligent agents are crucial in understanding Artificial Intelligence. They can perceive their environment, act upon it, learn from experiences, and can be categorized based on their complexity and capabilities. The PEAS framework provides a method to define the components of an agent's environment and tasks, emphasizing the importance of rationality and autonomy in agent behavior.

What we have learnt
- An agent is defined as something that perceives its environment and acts upon it.
- Agents can be classified into various types including Simple Reflex Agents, Model-Based Reflex Agents, Goal-Based Agents, Utility-Based Agents, and Learning Agents.
- The PEAS framework outlines the key components of an intelligent agent's environment: Performance Measure, Environment, Actuators, and Sensors.
Key Concepts
- -- Agent
- An entity that perceives its environment through sensors and acts upon it through actuators, often aimed to achieve specific goals.
- -- PEAS Framework
- A model that specifies the Performance Measure, Environment, Actuators, and Sensors of a task environment to design intelligent agents.
- -- Rationality
- The concept that an agent's actions are aligned to achieve the best expected outcome based on its knowledge and percepts.
- -- Autonomy
- The ability of an agent to operate independently without external intervention, learning and adapting based on experiences.
