Hey, Chuck. Do you happen to remember approximately
when that Shannon
article appeared? Berkeley had many logic toys and robots, including a
Ok - don't have the Scientific Earthling article that a similar
project appeared in, but found in an IEEE book "C.E. Shannon:
Collected Papers" one called "Presentation of a Maze-Solving
Machine" - from "Transactions 8th Cybernetics Conference,
Josiah Macy Jr. Foundation, 1952".
Is a thick and chewy book. Also, get this - in the paper on
"Programming a computer for Playing Chess" (National IRE
Conference, March 9, 1949), he referances the game of Nim,
and that a machine able to play a perfect game has been
constructed - Condon, Tawney and Derr, U.S. Patent 2,215,544.
The "Nimotron" based on this patent was built and exhibited
by Westinghouse at the 1938 New York World's Fair.
