7 Types of intelligent agents

Agent in AI
An "agent" is a self-contained software or entity that interacts with its surroundings
through sensor-based perception and actuator- or effector-based action in the
context of artificial intelligence.
Agents cycle through a loop of perception, thinking, and action using their actuators.
Agents include the following −
Software − This Agent processes input from keystrokes, file contents, and network
packets, presents the outcome on the screen, and then acts again.
Yes, we are all agents. In addition to their eyes, ears, and other sensory organs,
humans also have hands, legs, mouths, and other body parts that work as
actuators.
Robotic − Robotic agents have actuators like various servos and motors as well as
sensors like cameras as well as infrared range finders.
Intelligent agents in AI are autonomous creatures that interact with their environment
using sensors and actuators to achieve their goals. Intelligent agents may also pick
up information from their surroundings to achieve those goals. Siri, a virtual personal
assistant, and autonomous vehicles are examples of artificial intelligence (AI)
intelligent agents.
These are the primary four guidelines that any AI agents must follow −
Rule 1 − An AI agent needs to have the ability to comprehend its surroundings.
Rule 2 − Decisions must be based on environmental observations.
Rule 3 − Decisions must be followed by action.
Rule 4 − The AI agent's action must be a sensible one. Actions that maximize
performance and produce the greatest possible outcome are considered rational.
An Artificial Intelligence Agent’s Activity

Artificial intelligence agents continuously carry out the following tasks −
 Recognizing fluctuating environmental conditions
 Taking action to change environmental conditions
 Using logic to translate perceptions
 Problem-solving
 Making deductions
 Deciding on actions and their results
Types of Agents
AI employs intelligent agents of five main categories. Their breadth of abilities and
degree of intelligence serve to define them −
Reflex agents − These agents focus only on the now and don't consider the past.
The event-condition-action rule is used in their response. When a user initiates an
event and the Agent consults a list of pre-established criteria and rules, resulting in
pre-programmed consequences, the ECA rule is in effect.
Model-based Agents − These agents make decisions about their course of action
similarly to reflex agents, but they have a more thorough understanding of their
surroundings. The internal system has an environmental model that the Agent's
history is integrated with.
Goal-based agents − These agents add to the data that a model-based agent
retains by supplementing it with information about goals, such as information about
desired outcomes and circumstances.
Utility-based agents − These are like goal-based agents, but they also provide a
second utility metric. This evaluation ranks each potential consequence in relation to
the desired outcome and chooses the course of action that optimizes the result.
Examples of rating criteria include factors like success probability, or the quantity of
resources needed.
Learning agents − These agents use an additional learning component to
progressively get better and learn more about their surroundings over time. The
learning component decides how the performance components should be gradually
altered to indicate improvement based on input.
Artificial intelligence agents adhere to the basic structural formula −
Agent = Architecture + Agent Program
The phrases most often used to describe agent structure are as follows −
Architecture − The equipment or platform used to run the agent.
Agent Function −The agent function, which is described by the following formula,
links a precept to an action. f:P* - A.
Agent Program − The agent program is a great way to put the agent function into
practice. To create function f, the agent program runs on the physical architecture.
