What did Snarc do?

was the first connectionist neural network learning machine that when “rewarded” facilitated recently-used pathways. The SNARC, implemented using vacuum tubes, was possibly the first artificial self-learning machine.

How did Marvin Minsky influence robotics?

Professor Minsky was a pioneer of robotics and telepresence. He designed and built some of the first visual scanners, mechanical hands with tactile sensors, one of the first LOGO “turtles,” and their software and hardware interfaces. These influenced many subsequent robotic projects.

What did SNARC do?

Where did Marvin Minsky work?

In which year Marvin Minsky developed the first learning machine in which connection strengths could be adapted automatically and efficiently?

Clarification: In 1954 Marvin Minsky developed the first learning machine in which connection strengths could be adapted automatically & efficiebtly.

How did they use the Hebbian learning in neural network?

Hebb proposed a mechanism to update weights between neurons in a neural network. This method of weight updation enabled neurons to learn and was named as Hebbian Learning. Information is stored in the connections between neurons in neural networks, in the form of weights.

What was originally called imitation game?

The Turing test
The Turing test, originally called the imitation game by Alan Turing in 1950, is a test of a machine’s ability to exhibit intelligent behaviour equivalent to, or indistinguishable from, that of a human.
