The Cybertron K-100 by Raytheon (1961), from the How and Why Wonder Book of Robots and Electronic Brains,1964. The Cybertron is a learning machine that is able to discriminate different sounds. Given a training set of thousands of sound samples, it can distinguish between sonar signals bounced off a submarine and those bounced off a porpoise, the ocean floor, or schools of fish. Lights on the console indicate not only “yes” (the submarine) and “no”, but also “maybe” when it is unsure. “We have not tried to duplicate the neural networks of the human brain,” says Richard Witt, chief of advanced development for Raytheon’s communication and data-processing operation. “Rather, we have duplicated the human learning process—experience, trial and error, correlation of new facts with past experience.” The most iconic feature of the Cybertron is the big red “GOOF BUTTON” that the human tutor presses whenever the machine makes a mistake.
