public class ReflexAgent

extends AbstractGridWorldAgent

Below is a very basic agent. It is an on-line agent. When the agent enters the gridworld environment it is supplied information about it's current position. This information is itself and a list of visible or successor grid nodes to move to. The agent then randomly chooses a node to traverse. The agent does not have a memory and makes its decisions in real time, thus an on-line agent. This agent is only provided to give the user a sence of what methods are available and how they interact with the environment.

When this reflex agent is run in the gridworld you will notice that at each step the display shows the current position (orange) and the green successor nodes. Since this is an on-line agent, after a move the previous current position is changed to a visited node (blue), but the successor nodes are still green. This agent is only looking at the new successor nodes around the current position, but the display leaves all of the visible nodes to see. It is up to the agent to keep track of the visible nodes and use them as it desires.

In order for the JavaBean component architecture to work properly, this agent class must be accompanied by two other classes, the ReflexAgentCustomizer and the ReflexAgentBeanInfo class. See the AIILE web page for getting started.
