Sinopsis
"Cybernetics" offers a comprehensive exploration of one of the most influential fields in modern science, intricately linking systems theory, selforganization, and communication processes to robotics. In this book, you will gain crucial insights into how cybernetics shapes our understanding of control, feedback mechanisms, and autonomy in both biological and technological systems. With its focus on key figures, pivotal concepts, and cuttingedge applications, this book is essential for professionals, students, and enthusiasts alike Cybernetics-Explore the fundamental principles of cybernetics, emphasizing the regulation and communication between systems Systems Theory-Delve into the concept of systems thinking and how it contributes to understanding complex interactions in robotics and biology Norbert Wiener-Discover the pioneering work of Wiener, the father of cybernetics, and his impact on modern technology and cybernetic thought Heinz von Foerster-Understand von Foerster’s contributions to the development of secondorder cybernetics and its implications for systems theory Selforganization-Investigate the selforganizing properties of systems and their importance in robotics and biological networks W. Ross Ashby-Learn about Ashby’s law of requisite variety and its role in the development of adaptive systems in robotics and cybernetics Sociocybernetics-Examine the application of cybernetic principles to social systems, exploring feedback loops and societal adaptation Secondorder cybernetics-Focus on the observer’s role in systems theory, highlighting selfreference and recursive processes in cybernetics Biocybernetics-Understand the intersection of biology and cybernetics, exploring the regulatory mechanisms in living organisms Gordon Pask-Study Pask’s theory of conversation theory and its application to both human and machine learning systems Macy Conferences-Learn about the Macy Conferences and their crucial role in shaping the future of cybernetics and systems thinking Ranulph Glanville-Dive into Glanville’s work on the importance of recursion in cybernetic theory and systems design Management Cybernetics-Explore the use of cybernetic principles in management theory, focusing on organizational control and decisionmaking Stuart Umpleby-Discover Umpleby’s contributions to the application of cybernetics in social sciences and organizational theory Peter Corning-Delve into Corning’s research on the nature of cooperation in complex systems and its relevance to cybernetics Pharmacocybernetics-Learn how cybernetic principles apply to drug development and the optimization of pharmacological systems Cybernetics-Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine-Understand the groundbreaking text by Wiener that lays the foundation for modern cybernetics Selforganization in Cybernetics-Study how selforganizing systems are key to the evolution of both artificial intelligence and biological systems Larry Richards-Gain insights into Richards’ work on the integration of cybernetic theory with organizational theory and practice Dualism (Cybernetics)-Explore the philosophical implications of dualism in cybernetics, particularly in relation to mindbody debates Ludwig von Bertalanffy-Discover Bertalanffy’s general systems theory and its profound influence on cybernetics and systems thinking "Cybernetics" serves as an invaluable resource for those seeking to understand the intricate connections between systems theory, technology, and human society. This book is tailored for professionals, students, and anyone passionate about exploring the integration of biological, social, and technological systems. Gain knowledge that will push the boundaries of your understanding and elevate your work in robotics science, systems theory, and cybernetics.
