ABSTRACT
The science of cybernetics emerged during the 1940s as a part of the systems thinking movement. Norbert Wiener was the founding driver of contemporary cybernetics, working primarily on machine systems. His work has subsequently been developed extensively by others in the modern field of robotics. Wiener’s group was interdisciplinary, bringing together mathematicians, biologists, operational researchers and physicists in a ground-breaking approach to developing a unified science for solving complex problems.
