- to achieve a specific target
perceive become aware of something / come to realize
Core feedback loop
all agents Act on a feedback loop.

- Sensors (perception) - this is how the agent see the environment
- eg: Camera feed, gyroscopes, motion sensors, text inputs, database updates
- Decision Maker (brain) - this is the logical part. This evaluate the current state & determine what to do next
- eg: logical program, Machine Learning model
- Actuators (actions) - this is how the agent change its environment.
- eg: Clicking a button, increasing a motor speed, output text
