Q51.Marks: +2.0UGC NET Paper 2: Computer Science and Application 26th June 2025 Shift 1
Consider the following statements regarding Agent systems
A. Agent system comprises of an agent and an environment on which it acts
B. The controller part of an agent receives percepts from its body and sends commands to the environment
C. Agents act in the world through actuators which are non-noisy and always reliable.
D. The actuators of an agent convert stimuli into percepts
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
1.A, B Only✓ Correct
2.B, D Only
3.C, D Only
4.B, C, D Only
Solution
The correct answer is Option 1 (A, B Only)
Key Points
A. Agent system comprises of an agent and an environment on which it acts: ✅ This statement is correct. An agent system is defined as having two main components: an agent and the environment it interacts with. The agent perceives its environment and acts upon it to achieve its goals.
B. The controller part of an agent receives percepts from its body and sends commands to the environment: ✅ This statement is correct. The controller, which is part of the agent, processes the percepts (inputs) received from its body (sensors) and sends appropriate actions (outputs) to the environment through actuators.
C. Agents act in the world through actuators which are non-noisy and always reliable: ❌ This statement is incorrect. Actuators in real-world systems are often subject to noise and reliability issues. They may not always function perfectly due to hardware limitations or environmental factors.
D. The actuators of an agent convert stimuli into percepts: ❌ This statement is incorrect. Actuators are responsible for performing actions in the environment, not converting stimuli into percepts. Sensors, not actuators, are responsible for converting stimuli into percepts.
Additional Information
Environment: The environment is the external system with which the agent interacts.
Percepts: These are the inputs or stimuli received by the agent from the environment through its sensors.
Actuators: These are the components through which the agent performs actions in the environment based on decisions made by the controller.
