plural of automaton
Plural of an automaton and refers to figures that are relatively self-operating and capable of performing multiple complex movements Early examples feature doll-like bodies with composition or bisque heads
A term covering a wide variety of mechanical toys with moving parts, popular during the 18th and 19th centuries
Self-operating machines
Items utilizing a clock work mechanism to imitate motion Noted in the 3rd century but popluarized with the automated birds in a cage and has now come to mean toys with a clockwork mechanism including japanese wind-up toys and cars Many copies of these popular toys have now been produced

automata theory
Body of physical and logical principles underlying the operation of any electromechanical device (an automaton) that converts information input in one form into another, or into some action, according to an algorithm. Norbert Wiener and Alan M. Turing are regarded as pioneers in the field. In computer science, automata theory is concerned with the construction of robots (see robotics) from basic building blocks of automatons. The best example of a general automaton is an electronic digital computer. Networks of automata may be designed to mimic human behaviour. See also artificial intelligence; Turing machine

automaton

automaton
A machine or robot designed to follow a precise sequence of instructions

A departure from principle in one instance becomes a precedent for a second, that second for a third, and so on 'til the bulk of the society is reduced to be mere automatons of misery, to have no sensibilities left but for sinning and suffering. - Thomas Jefferson.

cellular automata
plural form of cellular automaton
automaton
any living being whose actions are or appear to be involuntary or mechanical
automaton
disapproval If you say that someone is an automaton, you are critical of them because they behave as if they are so tired or bored that they do things without thinking
automaton
An automaton is a small, mechanical figure that can move automatically. Mechanical object, either functional (such as a clock) or decorative (such as a miniature singing bird), that is self-operating. Devices set in motion by water, falling weights, and steam were in use in the 1st century. Decorative mechanical objects were made for ecclesiastical use and table ornaments in the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Spectacular fountains and waterworks can be seen in 16th-century Italian gardens; elaborate mechanical devices (such as the chess-playing Turk) were popular in the 18th-19th century. Except for some works by Carl Fabergé, the production of expensive automatons virtually ceased by the 20th century

automaton
Any thing or being regarded as having the power of spontaneous motion or action

automaton
plural, automatons or automata Machines which imitate the actions, etc , of living creatures The most famous are the following: - (1) The pigeon that could fly, made, B C 400, by Archy tas, of Tarentum; (2) the wooden eagle of Regiomontanus, the German, which flew from the city of Koenigsberg to meet the emperor, saluted him, and returned, 1436--1476; (3) the duck of Vaucanson of Grenoble, which could eat and drink, and even in a way digest food; its wings, viscera, bones, etc , minutely resembled those of a living animal Vaucanson also made an image of Pan, which, at the beck of Syrinx, rose from his seat, played on his pipe, bowed when applauded, and sat down again He also made an asp which, on being touched by an actress, in the character of Cleopatra, flew at her breast with a malignant hiss Louis XV set him to make a human figure, but he died before he had completed it (Greek, autos-mao , I self-move ) (See Android )

automaton
A self-moving machine, or one which has its motive power within itself; applied chiefly to machines which appear to imitate spontaneously the motions of living beings, such as men, birds, etc
cellular automata
Simplest model of a spatially distributed process that can be used to simulate various real-world processes. Cellular automata were invented in the 1940s by John von Neumann and Stanislaw Ulam at Los Alamos National Laboratory. They consist of a two-dimensional array of cells that "evolve" step-by-step according to the state of neighbouring cells and certain rules that depend on the simulation. Though apparently simple, CAs are universal computers that is, they can do any computer-capable computation. The best-known cellular automaton, John Conway's "Game of Life" (1970), simulates the processes of life, death, and population dynamics
