PEAS Agent: Medical diagnosis system Performance measure: Healthy patient, minimize costs, lawsuits Environment: Patient, hospital, staff Actuators: Screen display (questions, tests, diagnoses, treatments, referrals) Sensors: Keyboard (entry of symptoms, findings, patients answers) PEAS Agent: Part-picking robot Performance measure: Percentage of parts in correct bins Environment: Conveyor belt with parts, bins Actuators: Jointed arm and hand Sensors: Camera, joint angle sensors PEAS Agent: Interactive English tutor Performance measure: Maximize students score on test Environment: Set of students Actuators: Screen display (exercises, suggestions, corrections) Sensors: Keyboard Properties of Environments Fully observable/Partially observable. If an agent’s sensors give it access to the complete state of the environment needed to choose an action, the environment is fully observable. Such environments are convenient, since the agent is freed from the task of keeping track of the changes in the environment. Deterministic/Stochastic. An environment is deterministic if the next state of the environment is completely determined by the current state of the environment and the action of the agent; in a stochastic environment, there are multiple, unpredictable outcomes In a fully observable, deterministic environment, the agent need not deal with uncertainty. Properties of Environments II Episodic/Sequential. An episodic environment means that subsequent episodes do not depend on what actions occurred in previous episodes. In a sequential environment, the agent engages in a series of connected episodes. Such environments do not require the agent to plan ahead. Static/Dynamic. A static environment does not change while the agent is thinking. The passage of time as an agent deliberates is irrelevant. The agent doesn’t need to observe the world during deliberation. Properties of Environments III Discrete/Continuous. If the number of distinct percepts and actions is
