Use of Analog Computers in Artificial Intelligence (AI) - MarkTechPost

Analog Computers are a class of devices in which physical quantities like electrical voltage, mechanical motions, or fluid pressure are represented so that they are analogous to the corresponding amount in the problem to be solved. Here is a simple example of an analog computer. If we turn the black and white wheels by certain amounts, the gray wheel shows the sum of the two rotations. One of the earliest analog computers was The Antikythera Mechanism, constructed around 100-200 B.C. It involved a series of interlocking bronze gears in such a way that the motion of certain dials was analogous to the motion of the sun and the moon.
