Large language models (LLMs) are increasingly being adopted to develop general-purpose AI agents. However, it remains challenging for these LLM-based AI agents to efficiently learn from feedback and iteratively optimize their strategies. To address this challenge, tremendous efforts have been dedicated to designing diverse feedback mechanisms for LLM-based AI agents. To provide a comprehensive overview of this rapidly evolving field, this paper presents a systematic review of these studies, offering a holistic perspective on the feedback mechanisms in LLM-based AI agents. We begin by discussing the construction of LLM-based AI agents, introducing a generalized framework that encapsulates much of the existing work. Next, we delve into the exploration of feedback mechanisms, categorizing them into four distinct types: internal feedback, external feedback, multi-agent feedback, and human feedback. Additionally, we provide an overview of evaluation protocols and benchmarks specifically tailored for LLM-based AI agents. Finally, we highlight the significant challenges and identify potential directions for future studies. The relevant papers are summarized and will be consistently updated at https://github.com/kevinson7515/Agents-Feedback-Mechanisms.
