Percept (eBook)

What Is Percept

Input that is being perceived by an intelligent agent at any given moment is referred to as a percept at that moment. It is essentially the same idea as what is known as a percept in the field of psychology, with the exception that the agent, rather than the brain, is the one who is experiencing it. A percept is picked up by a sensor, which is typically a camera, then processed in the appropriate manner, and finally acted upon by an actuator. A 'percept sequence' is a comprehensive history of all percepts that have ever been identified, and each percept that is recognized is added to this sequence. The action taken by the agent at any one instant point may be contingent on the entirety of the percept sequence experienced up to that specific instant point. Not only does a smart agent make decisions about how to act based on the present perception, but also on the sequence of previous perceptions. The agent function, which associates each perception with a certain action, decides what the next action will be.
