Outline

This paper presents a need-driven autonomous agent (D2A), which autonomously proposes and selects tasks motivated by multidimensional needs without explicit task assignment. D2A is based on a dynamic value system inspired by need fulfillment theory and integrates an understanding of human needs such as social interaction, self-actualization, and self-management. The agent evaluates the value of the current state, proposes potential activities, and selects the one that best aligns with its intrinsic motivation. Experiments conducted on the text-based simulator Concordia demonstrate that the proposed agent exhibits human-like variability and adaptability, generating consistent and contextually relevant daily activities. Comparative analysis with other LLM-based agents demonstrates that our approach significantly improves the rationality of simulated activities.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
LLM suggests the possibility of developing agents that exhibit human-like autonomy and diverse behavior.
We experimentally demonstrate that a motivational framework based on need satisfaction theory is effective in enhancing the rationality of LLM-based agents.
Presenting a new direction for developing AI agents that better understand and mimic human behavior.
Limitations:
Since it was only evaluated in a text-based simulator environment such as Concordia, its performance in a real-world environment has not been verified.
There is a possibility that it may not fully reflect the diversity and complexity of desires.
Lack of detailed explanation of the design and tuning of the value system.
Absence of discussion of ethical considerations.
