Agents can be grouped into five classes based on their degree of perceived
intelligence and capability. All these agents can improve their performance and
generate better action over the time. These are given below:

Simple Reflex Agent

Model-based reflex agent

Goal-based agents

Utility-based agent
:
Learning agent

1. Simple Reflex agent:

The Simple reflex agents are the simplest agents. These agents take
decisions on the basis of the current percepts and ignore the rest of
the percept history.

These agents only succeed in the fully observable environment.

The Simple reflex agent does not consider any part of percepts history
during their decision and action process.

The Simple reflex agent works on Condition-action rule, which means


it maps the current state to action. Such as a Room Cleaner agent, it
works only if there is dirt in the room.

Problems for the simple reflex agent design approach:

They have very limited intelligence

They do not have knowledge of non-perceptual parts of the


current state

Mostly too big to generate and to store.

Not adaptive to changes in the environment.

2. Model-based reflex agent


The Model-based agent can work in a partially observable
environment, and track the situation.

A model-based agent has two important factors:

Model: It is knowledge about "how things happen in the world,"


so it is called a Model-based agent.

Internal State: It is a representation of the current state based on


:
percept history.

These agents have the model, "which is knowledge of the world" and
based on the model they perform actions.

Updating the agent state requires information about:

How the world evolves

How the agent's action affects the world.


:
3. Goal-based agents

The knowledge of the current state environment is not always


sufficient to decide for an agent to what to do.

The agent needs to know its goal which describes desirable situations.

Goal-based agents expand the capabilities of the model-based agent


by having the "goal" information.

They choose an action, so that they can achieve the goal.

These agents may have to consider a long sequence of possible


actions before deciding whether the goal is achieved or not. Such
considerations of different scenario are called searching and planning,
which makes an agent proactive.
:
4. Utility-based agents

These agents are similar to the goal-based agent but provide an extra
component of utility measurement which makes them different by
providing a measure of success at a given state.

Utility-based agent act based not only goals but also the best way to
achieve the goal.

The Utility-based agent is useful when there are multiple possible


alternatives, and an agent has to choose in order to perform the best
:
action.

The utility function maps each state to a real number to check how
efficiently each action achieves the goals.

5. Learning Agents

A learning agent in AI is the type of agent which can learn from its
past experiences, or it has learning capabilities.

It starts to act with basic knowledge and then able to act and adapt
:
automatically through learning.

A learning agent has mainly four conceptual components, which are:

Learning element: It is responsible for making improvements by


learning from environment

Critic: Learning element takes feedback from critic which


describes that how well the agent is doing with respect to a fixed
performance standard.

Performance element: It is responsible for selecting external


action

Problem generator: This component is responsible for


suggesting actions that will lead to new and informative
experiences.

Hence, learning agents are able to learn, analyze performance, and


look for new ways to improve the performance.
