EECE 822: PS 2

You will do this problem set individually and hand in hardcopies to me before class on Monday. The first page of your hand-in will be the signed coversheet.

Problem 1 (30%): Problem 2 from Chapter 1 in the textbook.

Problem 2 (30%): Problem 3 from Chapter 1 in the textbook.

Problem 3 (40%): Do one of the two problems below. You must provide enough detail so that an implementation of your agent is possible from the description (even if not trivially easy).

1. Describe in pseudo-code the behaviors you would use to implement a reactive soccer player. Your agent should be able to score goals (on occasion) and should show some awareness of the fact that it is part of a team. Assume that all the agents in your team will use the same behavior. You must describe the behaviors as if-then rules (as done in the book) and give their inhibition order.
2. Describe how you might implement a soccer player using a BDI architecture. Describe the sets of Beliefs, name all the Desires that your agent will have, name all the Intentions that it will have and explain which Desires instantiate which Intentions. If some Intentions override each other, explain how the problem is solved. Your agent should be able to score goals (on occasion) and should show some awareness of the fact that it is part of a team. Assume that all the agents in your team will use the same behavior.
