Definitions of cybernetics word

  • uncountable noun cybernetics Cybernetics is science which involves studying the way electronic machines and human brains work, and developing machines that do things or think like people. 3
  • noun cybernetics the branch of science concerned with control systems in electronic and mechanical devices and the extent to which useful comparisons can be made between man-made and biological systems 3
  • noun cybernetics the science dealing with the comparative study of human control systems, as the brain and nervous system, and complex electronic systems 3
  • noun cybernetics the study of human control functions and of mechanical and electronic systems designed to replace them, involving the application of statistical mechanics to communication engineering. 1
  • noun cybernetics The science of communications and automatic control systems in both machines and living things. 1
  • noun Definition of cybernetics in Technology (robotics)   /si:`b*-net'iks/ The study of control and communication in living and man-made systems. The term was first proposed by Norbert Wiener in the book referenced below. Originally, cybernetics drew upon electrical engineering, mathematics, biology, neurophysiology, anthropology, and psychology to study and describe actions, feedback, and response in systems of all kinds. It aims to understand the similarities and differences in internal workings of organic and machine processes and, by formulating abstract concepts common to all systems, to understand their behaviour. Modern "second-order cybernetics" places emphasis on how the process of constructing models of the systems is influenced by those very systems, hence an elegant definition - "applied epistemology". Related recent developments (often referred to as sciences of complexity) that are distinguished as separate disciplines are artificial intelligence, neural networks, systems theory, and chaos theory, but the boundaries between those and cybernetics proper are not precise. See also robot. 1
