INTENTION 3)
← Back
"The conscious will to reach a goal or to perform an action" (J. ERCEAU & J. FERBER, 1991, p.753).
ERCEAU and FERBER, who discuss this concept in relation to multi-agents robots systems, explain that reciprocal communication of intentions between participants of a network is an absolute necessity since: "Agents must be able to acquire informations about their environment and each other, either directly by their own perceptive devices, or by exchange of informations or, still, by learning" (p.754).
A theory of intentions has been derived by J.J. AUSTIN and R. SEARLE from their former theory of language acts established in the sixties.
