Are the synchros in this similar to what the Rosenblatt Perceptron used to adjust and show weights: "This machine was designed for image recognition: it had an array of 400 photocells, randomly connected to the "neurons". Weights were encoded in potentiometers, and weight updates during learning were performed by electric motors.[2]: 193 "
- kens 3y agoI couldn't find details on the Perceptron's motors, but I expect they were DC motors, rotating the potentiometers higher or lower as needed. The synchro is useful if you have a rotation in one location and one to match the rotation at another location. But with the Perceptron, you don't have a specific rotational angle you want, just "more" or "less".
