The Evolution of the Reflex-Agent

This is an example of a step by step improvement of the basic Reflex-Agent design.

scroll down to the simulation


Due to the bad performance of the pure reflex-agent descriped by Russel and Norvig in their book Artificial Intelligence in the Wumpus-World, two new agents were developed that perform far better in this harsh environmnet.

These agents memorize their last actions (steps, shots, etc.). Due to this memory the new agents can base their decissions on their previous experiences they made on a field - thereby they incorporate a very simple form of learning.

The two agents differ in the amount of memory cells and capabilties to process the previous experiences.


Now for the agents as they are represented in the example simulation:
