Numerous examples are used to illustratea key theme: the importance of an agent's environment. Evensimple agents, such as LEGO robots, are capable of exhibiting complexbehaviour when they can sense and affect the world around them.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cmeta name='\"generator\"' content='\"HTML' tidy see www.w3.org\u003e\n\u003ctitle\u003e\u003c\/title\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFront Matter; Table of Contents; Acknowledgements\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eChapter 1.
