AI Agents represent a fundamental concept in Artificial Intelligence, embodying the idea of an autonomous entity that perceives its environment through sensors and acts upon that environment through actuators. When multiple such agents interact, they form Multi-Agent Systems (MAS), which can exhibit complex collective behaviors and solve
problems that are difficult for a single agent. This section delves into the definition and characteristics of AI agents, different types of agents, the dynamics of multi-agent systems, and their applications and challenges.
Definition and Characteristics of AI Agents #
An AI agent is anything that can be viewed as perceiving its environment through sensors and acting upon that environment through actuators. This definition is broad, encompassing everything from simple software programs to complex robotic systems.
