Artificial Intelligence – Agent Behaviour
- Share to:
The way an agent behaves is often used to tell them apart and to distinguish what and who they are, whether animal, human or artificial. Behaviour can also be associated with groups of agents, not just a single agent. For example, human cultural behaviour relates to behaviour that is associated with a particular nation, people or social group, and is distinct from the behaviour of an individual human being or the human body. Behaviour also has an important role to play in the survival of different species and subspecies. It has been suggested, for example, that music and art formed part of a suite of behaviours displayed by our own species that provided us with the evolutionary edge over the Neanderthals.
In the two preceding chapters, we have talked about various aspects concerning behaviours of embodied, situated agents, such as how an agent’s behaviour from a design perspective can be characterised in terms of its movement it exhibits in an environment, and how agents exhibit a range of behaviours from reactive to cognitive. We have not, however, provided a more concrete definition of what behaviour is. From the perspective of designing embodied, situated agents, behaviour can b defined as follows. A particular behaviour of an embodied, situated agent is a series of actions it performs when interacting with an environment. The specific order or manner in which the actions’ movements are made and the overall outcome that occurs as a result of the actions defines the type of behaviour. We can define an action as a series of movements performed by an agent in relation to a specific outcome, either by volition (for cognitive-based actions) or by instinct (for reactive-based actions).
