RB5X Educational Robot, General Robotics Corp, US, 1985
The RB5X is an example of the type of programmable robot produced for hobbyists during the first half of the 1980s. Not only did it use infrared sensing, remote audio/video transmission, bump sensors, and a voice synthesizer, it also had software that enabled the robot to learn about its environment. The RB5X incorporated a National Semiconductor INS8073 8-bit microprocessor and, like many similar robots, was programmed using a variant of TinyBASIC.

Biper-4, University of Tokyo, 1983
Biper-4 was part of a series of robots designed by Isao Shimoyama and Hirofumi Miura at the University of Tokyo in the early 1980s to explore balance and bipedal locomotion. While its mechanized knee and ankle joints improved upon earlier versions, Biper-4 still required ski-like feet in order to remain standing.

The IBM 1401 Data Processing System allowed business to automate processes like payroll, inventory, and billing in order to increase the efficiency of these operations.
The IBM 1401 is an example of a computer system being developed in order to serve the needs of industry which, along with the government, was the driving force behind advances in computer technology prior to the development of the personal computer.
In spite of its utilitarian design, the 1401 system had an unexpected feature that lent itself to artistic expression. The 1403 printer that was included in the system produced operational noises that varied with the specific characters and fonts being printed. Frequent users found that with careful selection of characters they could produce a rhythm and variety of sounds that could be described as music. This effect is remarkably reminiscent of that which was envisioned by Ada Lovelace, though the apparatus used to produce it is not what she imagined.

This is one of the artifacts found in the Computer History Museum.
Many of you may remember the Apple 2c, but would you recognize an Apple 1 if you saw it..??? I doubt it - I didn't.
Steve Wozniak first showed the prototype Apple-1 to his friends at the Homebrew Computer Club in April 1976. for $666.66 buyers received a blank printed curicuit board, a kit of parts, and a 16-page assembly manual. In order to make a useful computer, one had to add a power supply, keyboard, and display.
Wozniak and his high-school friend, Steve Jobs, went into small-scale production when The Byte Shop in Mountain View ordered fifty assembled boards.
This was a gift of the Dysan Corporation.
ALGOL-60, c. 1960
“The creation of ALGOL-60 was a turning point in the development of computer languages. While previous languages were typically designed for specific machines, designers intended ALGOL-60 to allow different computer to exchange programs. Peter Naur, a Danish computer scientist, and John Backus, the creator of FORTRAN, developed a meta-language they called BNF (Backus-Naur Form) for defining the grammar of ALGOL-60. This elegant recursive notation remains a standard tool for computer scientists.”

Apple I User Manual
“The Apple I computer was designed by electronics hobbyist Steve Wozniak. It was sold for $666.66 and included only the main board and the manual shown here. The purchaser needed to provide a power supply, keyboard and monitor. Users came up with innovative “cases” for the board, including plywood boxes and off-the-shelf briefcases!”
