Cybernetics is derived from a Greek word ‘Kybernetes’ meaning the art of steering. It means to plan out objectives or goals and then make efforts to achieve them. In the mid 1950s the term was popularized by Norbert Wiener. Cybernetics involves a multidisciplinary approach to the interaction or communication in machines and biological entities or between them. It is about gathering information. It involves the study of various subjects such as Artificial Intelligence (AI), electrical engineering, biology, neuro-physiology and psychology to name a few. Today cybernetics plays an important role in our daily lives. For example, the biometric systems are used in officer for recording entry and exit details of employees. With the development of new software programs and AI, the machine-man interaction is gaining importance in the study of cybernetics.
