Operation of an intelligent agent

Describe an intelligent agent operating
in the world. Do so in seven stages, corresponding
to Topics 1-7 of the course. For each stage,
describe the increasingly difficult environment
that the agent can operate in effectively at that
stage of development.
We will use a generic self-driving vehicle
in class as an example in some topics. Choose
a non-vehicle or a special kind of vehicle, such as
an off-road one or a boat or plane, or an agent that
operates online.
Describe:
1. the agent’s representation of the world
and its computation on that representation
2. what goals the agent seeks to meet, and how
3. the agent’s representation of knowledge about
its environment, and inference based on that
4. the agent’s evolving beliefs about the state
of its environment and how it uses them
5. ways for the agent to be trained
or to learn from data
6. how the agent may adapt itself
dynamically to its environment
7. how the agent may collaborate
with other agents
