Compilation of material from CS 171 (Introduction to AI course) at UC Irvine taught by Professor Koeing. Foucses on understanding how systems act and make decisions rationally. Main concept focuses on the theoretical transition point from high level percepts (sensor, cv, etc) into high level actions (commands).
Introduction
Artificial agents are referenced from human agents which operate based on a cycle of making sense of an environemnt (investigation) and acting on it.
Cognitive Science approach: computationally model and REPLICATE human cognition (emotions, biology, intention) as closely as possible.
Engineering approach: algorithmically optimize a given tasks by borrowing human reasoning systems
