Definition
In artificial intelligence and robotics, an action refers to a specific step or decision taken by an intelligent agent to interact with its environment. Actions are selected based on the current state of the environment and the agent’s policy, aiming to achieve predefined goals or maximize rewards. They form the fundamental unit of behavior in reinforcement learning and autonomous systems, bridging perception and outcome.
