Artificial Intelligence, or AI, is the study and development of computer systems which can perform tasks which normally require human intelligence. Agent Behaviour is a complex aspect of AI, but integral to one’s understanding of the subject. It is discussed in detail in William John Teahan’s “Artificial Intelligence - Agent Behaviour I” e-book.
This “Artificial Intelligence: Exercises II” e-book will guide you through useful exercises related to the “Agent Behavior” text. Both the source text and this exercise e-book can be downloaded for free.
Exercises within this AI workbook help the reader understand a wide range of topics, including the difference between reactive and cognitive agents, stigmergy, swarm intelligence, Dijkstra’s algorithm, knowledge-based systems, the limitations of AI, and advancements towards computers with problem solving abilities. Each of the exercises correspond to a NetLogo model which can be accessed online and manipulated for learning purposes. Solutions to selected exercises follow the text.
