The BDI Architecture

The BDI architecture (Belief-Desire-Intention) is a framework for designing intelligent agents that mimic human decision-making. It models how agents form beliefs about their environment, have desires or goals they want to achieve, and develop intentions or plans to fulfill those goals. By constantly updating beliefs and selecting intentions based on priorities, the architecture enables agents to act rationally and adaptively in dynamic situations. Essentially, BDI helps create autonomous systems that reason and make decisions in a way similar to human reasoning, improving their ability to operate effectively in complex, unpredictable environments.
