Why is a vacuum cleaning agent a useful teaching example?

  • A.Its performance measure is impossible to specify incorrectly
  • B.It requires no internal state under any circumstances
  • C.Its environment is small enough to enumerate completely
  • D.It is the simplest agent that can be built with real hardware

Answer: C

With two squares and two conditions, the whole environment has four states and the agent function can be written out as a table, so every architecture can be compared exactly. Real vacuum robots are far more complex, the performance measure is notoriously easy to get wrong, and internal state is needed as soon as the environment is made partially observable. A worked example small enough to enumerate is worth a great deal when the general case is intractable.
