cybernetics

Cybernetics are electromechanical devices that are designed to be attached to a biological organism's body. Typically they are artificial body parts that are intended to replace or enhance their natural counterparts, but may also include things such as entirely new limbs (e.g. a third arm or a pair of wings) or a microchip implant.

Not to be Confused with

  • Bionics - Although bionics are a type of cybernetics, cybernetics can appear more mechanical while as bionics are meant to look more like their biological counterpart.
  • Prosthetic - Although cybernetics are a type of prosthetic, prosthetics can also include such things as wooden peglegs and glass eyes.

Please Note

Not to use these tags with robot characters as these are meant for cyborg characters. Instead, make use of the robot_* or robotic_* tags.
