autómat
An autómat, or automaton in English, is a self-operating device or system that performs a sequence of operations automatically, often following a predefined set of rules or a programmed instruction. The term can refer to tangible machines, such as mechanical automatons, or to abstract models used in computer science and mathematics. In many languages, including Hungarian, autómat is closely related to the broader idea of an automaton.
Mechanical automata are physical devices designed to imitate lifelike actions or perform repetitive tasks. Historical examples
Automata theory is the branch of computer science and mathematics that studies abstract machines and the problems
Applications span parsing and lexical analysis, compiler design, formal verification and model checking, protocol design, and
