The title of timed automaton declares that the automaton changes states at a set rate, which for clocks is 1 state change every second. Clock automata only takes as input the time displayed by the previous state. The automata uses this input to produce the next state, a display of time 1 second later than the previous.
A humanoid robot is a robot resembling the human body in shape. The design may be for functional purposes, such as interacting with human tools and environments, for experimental purposes, such as the study of bipedal locomotion, or for other purposes. In general, humanoid robots have a torso, a head, two arms, and two legs, though some ...
Technically, they are not cellular automata at all, because the underlying "space" is the continuous Euclidean plane R 2, not the discrete lattice Z 2. They have been studied by Marcus Pivato. [24] Lenia is a family of continuous cellular automata created by Bert Wang-Chak Chan. The space, time and states of the Game of Life are generalized to ...
Animatronics stem from a long tradition of mechanical automata powered by hydraulics, pneumatics and clockwork. Before the term "animatronics" became common, they were usually referred to as "Robots". [5] Since then, robots have become known as more practical programmable machines that do not necessarily resemble living creatures. [6]
The robot’s body can sit upright and move its arms around in various directions. [2] The robot's lower body operates with three degrees of freedom while the arms utilize a four-degree-of-freedom system, possibly so the robot can perform whole-arm grasping. [3] Drums located inside of the robot produce sounds as the rest of the body moves. [2]
The tension between the nonhuman substance and the human appearance—or even human ambitions—of androids is the dramatic impetus behind most of their fictional depictions. [ 4 ] [ 33 ] Some android heroes seek, like Pinocchio , to become human, as in the film Bicentennial Man , [ 33 ] or Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation .
"Personoids do not need any human-like physical body; they are rather an abstraction of functions of human mind, they live in computers." The Stepford Wives (1972) by Ira Levin – "The masculine plot to replace women with perfect looking, obedient robot replicas" Setaur, Aniel and Terminus in Tales of Pirx the Pilot by Stanisław Lem (1973)
Close to the beginning of Nier: Automata, a group of machines attempting to reproduce create the highly advanced lifeforms Adam and Eve, who become obsessed with humanity. Shortly after the destruction of the Bunker, the Machine Network constructs an immense tower from crystallized silicon and carbon for the purpose of destroying the human server.
