Robotics vs. Cybernetics — What's the Difference?

Robotics is an interdisciplinary field that integrates computer science and engineering. Robotics involves design, construction, operation, and use of robots.

Cybernetics is a transdisciplinary approach for exploring regulatory and purposive systems—their structures, constraints, and possibilities. The core concept of the discipline is circular causality or feedback—that is, where the outcomes of actions are taken as inputs for further action.

The science or study of the technology associated with the design, fabrication, theory, and application of robots.

The theoretical study of communication and control processes in biological, mechanical, and electronic systems, especially the comparison of these processes in biological and artificial systems.

The science and technology of robots, their design, manufacture, and application

The theory/science of communication and control in living organisms or machines.

The area of AI concerned with the practical use of robots

The art/study of governing, controlling automatic processes and communication.

Technology related to computers and Internet.

(biology) the field of science concerned with processes of communication and control (especially the comparison of these processes in biological and artificial systems)
