When the correct action to take is not immediately obvious, an
agent may need to to plan ahead: to consider a sequence of actions
that form a path to a goal state. - answer Such an agent is called a
problem-solving agent, and the computational process it undertakes
is called search.
Problem-solving agents use atomic representations - answer which
means states of the world are considered as wholes, with no
internal structure visible to the problem-solving algorithms.
Agents that use factored or structured representations of states are
called planning agents - answer informed algorithms, in which the
agent can estimate how far it is from the goal, and uninformed
algorithms, where no such estimate is available.
asymptotic complexity is also known as Big O Notation. - answer If
the agent has no additional information—that is, if the environment
is unknown—then the agent can do no better than to execute one of
the actions at random.
Goal formulation: The agent adopts the goal of reaching Bucharest.
Goals organize behavior by limiting the objectives and hence the
actions to be considered. - answer Problem formulation: The agent
devises a description of the states and actions necessary to reach
the goal—an abstract model of the relevant part of the world. For
our agent, one good model is to consider the actions of traveling
from one city to an adjacent city, and therefore the only fact about
the state of the world that will change due to an action is the
current city.
