Agents and Environments: Agent An agent is an entity that perceives its environment through sensors and acts upon that environment through actuators. Agents can be anything from simple programs to complex systems like robots or humans. The key characteristic of an agent is its ability to take actions based on its perceptions to achieve specific goals.
