Complex problems that people and the society faces today can no longer be solved from single field of academia. Yoshiyuki Sankai, a professor at the University of Tsukuba in Japan, and President and CEO of CYBERDYNE, Inc. (the “Company”) founded Cybernics as a new academic field that approaches these issues from multiple direction.
The Group works to realize the fusion of “Human” + “Cyber/Physical space” through the use of innovative Cybernics Technology. The name of CYBERDYNE originates from the utilization of innovative “Cybernics” technologies and the “dyne” which is a Greek word for power. The name therefore means “power generated by Cybernics”.
