Agent and Environment: One System
Captions available
The idea
An agent and its environment form one system: the environment delivers stimuli, the agent delivers actions back.
In practice
A robot vacuum: bumps and battery level in; turns and docking out; the living room — furniture, dust, sleeping cat — is the other half.
Where people slip
Competence belongs to the pair: the same vacuum thrives in one home, fails in a toy-strewn one.
