Elmer and Elsie (ELectroMEchanical Robot, Light-Sensitive) were two electronic robots that were built in the late 1940s by neurobiologist and cybernetician William Grey Walter. They were the first robots in history that were programmed to "think".
2 de may. de 2024 · A día de hoy, Elmer y Elsie resultan unos aparatos muy simples y obsoletos, pero en su momento causaron el suficiente impacto como para aparecer en la revista Scientific American, en el número de mayo de 1950, en un artículo escrito por el propio Grey Walter y titulado «An imitation of life».
17 de may. de 2015 · Las tortugas robot, conceptualizadas como un «sistema nervioso de sólo dos células» eran capaces de expresar cuatro tipos distintos de comportamiento: un patrón de exploración, uno de fototropismo positivo, otro negativo y, finalmente, un patrón para esquivar obstáculos.
28 de feb. de 2020 · In the robotics family tree, Roomba's ancestors were probably Elmer and Elsie, a pair of cybernetic tortoises invented in the 1940s by neurophysiologist W. Grey Walter. The robots could “see" by means of a rotating photocell that steered them toward a light source.
Elsie had a fictional, cartoon mate, Elmer the Bull, who was created in 1940 and lent to Borden's then chemical-division as the mascot for Elmer's Products. The pair was given teenage offspring Beulah sometime before 1947, the year baby Beauregard arrived.
Dr. Grey Walter was a neurologist, robotics pioneer, and a bit of a mad scientist. Living in Bristol, England in 1949, without the aid of modern day computer...
His first robots, Elmer and Elsie, constructed between 1948 and 1949, were mobile with a plastic shell that was phototropic – it could follow light – and acted as a bump sensor. The robots were designed to show the interaction between two sensory systems: light-sensitive and touch-sensitive control mechanisms (in effect, two nerve cells ...
