The British mathematician and pioneer of computing Alan Turing published a paper in 1936 which described a Universal Machine, a theoretical model of a computer processor that would later become known ...

Now we come to the masterstroke of Turing machine theory – the Universal Turing machine. Suppose you have a Turing machine that computes something. It consists of a finite state machine, an initial ...

Alan Turing is known for the "Turing Machine", but this is a theoretical device used to prove what computers can do. What is less well-known is that he designed a real physical computer - the ...

A theoretical perspective by roboticist Frank Kirchner demonstrates how Alan Turing's early work on embodiment provides an ...

Note: This is a summary of a person I became interested in through my own research.2026-10-22“Can machines think?” This question, which is asked almost daily now, was taken up head-on as the subject ...

The Church-Turing limit restricts all current computation, including quantum computers, to rational number computation. This is because quantum computer designs (still not scalable even with high ...

It is now possible for machines to learn how natural or artificial systems work by simply observing them, without being told what to look for, according to researchers at the University of Sheffield.

Can a machine genuinely think, understand, or have a mind? Or, in other words, can machines possess intelligence? One may argue that the answer depends on how we define intelligence. Is intelligence ...
