An automaton with a finite number of states is called a Finite Automaton (FA) or Finite State Machine (FSM). Automata The term "Automata" is derived from the Greek word "αὐτόματα" which means "self-acting". An automaton (Automata in plural) is an abstract self-propelled computing device which follows a predetermined
