Cybernetics is the study of connecting control systems, electrical network theory and mechanical engineering or Cyberware. Examples of Cybernetics are cyborgs which are part mechanical and part organic robots, robotic implants and prosthetics.
It means "the study of". zoology is the study of animals, Geology is the study of the earth.
EntOmology is the study of insects. EntAmology is not a field of study.
Dendrology is the study of trees.
The study of Microorganisms is called microbiology.
Anatomy = study of body structures, and the relationship between these structuresHistology = study of the structure of tissuesCytology = study of structure (and function) of cells
Cybernetics "the scientific study of control and communication in the animal and the machine." ― Norbert Wiener, Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine
Fields of study which have influenced or been influenced by cybernetics ... Louis Couffignal; "'The art of steersmanship': deals with all forms of behavior .... which is found in the study of Brownian motion and in telecommunication engineering.
Fields of study which have influenced or been influenced by cybernetics include later extended it to include information flows "in all media" from stars to brains.
Originally, Norbert Weiner defined it as the study of "Control and communications in animal and machine." Nowadays, it's usually defined as the study of regulatory systems.
Cybernetics Society was created in 1968.
Media Cybernetics was created in 1981.
Cybernetics Guardian was created in 1989.
American Society for Cybernetics was created in 1964.
Leonas Kacinskas has written: 'Cybernetics in the USSR' -- subject(s): Cybernetics
Terms such as cybernetics and robotics were used to describe collective intelligence approaches and led to the development of AI as an experimental field in the 1950s.

Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of the structure of complex systems, especially communication processes, control mechanisms and feedback principles. Cybernetics is closely related to control theory and systems theory, but both in its origins and in its evolution in the second-half of the 20th century, cybernetics is equally applicable to social (that is, language-based) systems. Cybernetics is always and only involved when the system under scrutiny is involved in a closed loop, where action by the system in an environment causes some change in the environment AND that change is manifest to the system via information/feedback that causes changes in the way the system then behaves, and all this in service of a goal or goals. This "circular causal" relationship is necessary and sufficient for a cybernetic perspective.
