Cog on display at the MIT Museum. Cog was a project at the Humanoid Robotics Group of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. It was based on the hypothesis that human-level intelligence requires gaining experience from interacting with humans, like human infants do. This in turn required many interactions with humans over a long period.
Kismet (robot) Kismet now resides at the MIT Museum. Kismet is a robot head which was made in the 1990s at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) by Dr. Cynthia Breazeal as an experiment in affective computing; a machine that can recognize and simulate emotions. The name Kismet comes from a Turkish word meaning "fate" or sometimes "luck".
Nouvelle artificial intelligence (AI) is an approach to artificial intelligence pioneered in the 1980s by Rodney Brooks, who was then part of MIT artificial intelligence laboratory. [1] Nouvelle AI differs from classical AI by aiming to produce robots with intelligence levels similar to insects. Researchers believe that intelligence can emerge ...
The Mount Washington Cog Railway, also known as the Cog, is the world's first mountain-climbing cog railway (rack-and-pinion railway). The railway climbs Mount Washington in New Hampshire, United States. It uses a Marsh rack system and both steam and biodiesel -powered locomotives to carry tourists to the top of the mountain.
The Bremen cog is a well-preserved wreck of a cog dated to 1380, found in 1962 in Bremen. Today, it is displayed at the German Maritime Museum in Bremerhaven as one of the main features. Three nearly identical replicas of this cog have been built: Ubena von Bremen , Hansekogge , and Roland von Bremen .
National Archaeological Museum, Athens. The Antikythera mechanism (/ ˌæntɪkɪˈθɪərə / AN-tik-ih-THEER-ə, US also / ˌæntaɪkɪˈ -/ AN-ty-kih-) [1][2] is an Ancient Greek hand-powered orrery (model of the Solar System). It is the oldest known example of an analogue computer. [3][4][5] It could be used to predict astronomical positions ...
The history of robots has its origins in the ancient world. During the Industrial Revolution, humans developed the structural engineering capability to control electricity so that machines could be powered with small motors. In the early 20th century, the notion of a humanoid machine was developed.
The American Computer & Robotics Museum was founded by George and Barbara Keremedjiev as a non-profit organization in May 1990 in Bozeman, Montana. [2] It is likely the oldest extant museum dedicated to the history of computers in the world. [3] The museum's artifacts trace over 4,000 years of computing history and information technology. [4]
