Unit 1, Video 2 Intelligent Agents This document contains the transcript of the audio described video followed by the quiz question.

Transcript
The professor selects Intelligent Agent. The correct answer is Intelligent Agent. Lets talk about Intelligent Agents. Here is my Intelligent Agent and it gets to interact with an environment. The agent can perceive the state of the environment through its sensors and it can affect its state through its actuators. The big question about artificial intelligence is the function that maps sensors to actuators, that is called the Control Policy for the agent. So all of this class will deal with how does an agent make decisions that it can carry out with its actuators based on past sensor data. Those decisions take place many, many times, and the loop of environment feedback to sensors, agent decision, actuator interaction with the environment and so on is called Perception Action Cycle. The title of this page is Intelligent Agent. On the left there is a box labeled Agent and on the right there is a shape labeled Environment. The arrow from the Environment to the Agent is labeled as Sensors and the arrow the Agent to the Environment is labeled as Actuators. The arrow between Sensors and Actuators represents the Control Policy of the Agent. At the bottom it shows Perception Action Cycle.
