Question

For each of the following activities, give a PEAS description of the task environment and characterize it in terms of the following six properties identified in our AIMA textbook: • fully observable or partially observable? • single–agent or multi–agent? • deterministic or stochastic? • episodic or sequential? • static or dynamic? • discrete or continuous?

Answer 1

Fully observable (vs. partially observable): An agent's sensors give it access to the complete state of the environment at each point in time.

Deterministic (vs. stochastic): The next state of the environment is completely determined by the current state and the action executed by the agent. (If the environment is deterministic except for the actions of other agents, then the environment is strategic)

Episodic (vs. sequential): An agent’s action is divided into atomic episodes. Decisions do not depend on previous decisions/actions.

Discrete (vs. continuous): A limited number of distinct, clearly defined percepts and actions.

Single agent (vs. multi-agent): An agent operating by itself in an environment. Does the other agent interfere with my performance measure?
