An autonomous agent is an intelligent agent operating on an owner’s behalf but without any interference from that ownership entity. An intelligent agent is a car that needs to integrate with the rest of the traffic, a soccer player, that needs to pass the ball to its team members, or a shelf-moving robot in a warehouse that needs to deliver its product to the picker. All of them need to negotiate and collaborate with ad-hoc team members that don’t always share the same goals.
