Exploring autonomous decision-making, collaboration, and adaptability in complex environments.
Introduction to AI Agents
AI agents are autonomous entities that perceive their environment through sensors and act upon that environment through effectors. They operate without direct human intervention, making decisions based on their programming and current inputs.
Multiagent Systems
When multiple agents interact, we create multiagent systems (MAS). These systems enable complex behaviors to emerge from relatively simple agent interactions, much like how ant colonies exhibit sophisticated behavior from simple individual ants.
Key Benefits
- Distributed problem solving: Tasks can be divided among agents
- Increased robustness: System continues if some agents fail
- Scalability: Can add more agents as needed
- Flexibility: Agents can adapt to changing environments
Common Applications
These systems are used in logistics, traffic control, financial markets, and distributed sensor networks.
