Situated Action
An agent is said to display situated action when behavior is
reactive and driven by the environment. Supposedly the agent can
exhibit "planned-like" behaviors simply through the combined action of
many simple reactions to the environment.
Many architects limit the structure of their agents, relying on the
predominance of the salience of
situated action.
TETON supports situated action as the
author argues that it is an important phenomenon needed to explain the
existence in human behavior of
goal reconstruction which currently
languishes as an ancillary state-of-the-art problem.
Many architects, citing on the lack of emergence of plan-like behavior in the
agents that rely on the situated action proposal, exclude this capability
but argue that reactivity of the agent will emerge through practice and
generalization.
