Building rational agents

A lot of research in AI is focused on building rational agents. What exactly is a rational agent? Before that, let us define the word rationality within the context of AI. Rationality refers to observing a set of rules and following their logical implications in order to achieve a desirable outcome. This needs to be performed in such a way that there is maximum benefit to the entity performing the action. An agent, therefore, is said to act rationally if, given a set of rules, it takes actions to achieve its goals. It just perceives and acts according to the information that's available. This system is used a lot in AI to design robots when they are sent to navigate unknown terrains.

How do we define what is desirable? The answer is that it depends on the objectives of the agent. The agent is supposed to be intelligent and independent. We want to impart the ability to adapt to new situations. It should understand its environment and then act accordingly...
