Example
For example, a BDI agent could be programmed to control a robot that is tasked with navigating through a maze. The agent’s beliefs about the maze might include information about its size, shape, and layout, as well as the location of any obstacles or exits. Its desires might include the goal of reaching the end of the maze as quickly as possible, while its intentions might involve planning a sequence of actions to achieve this goal based on its beliefs and desires.
