The Sixth Kondratieff Wave and the Cybernetic Revolution
P. 354–377.
Grinin L. E., Grinin A.
In the present paper, on the basis of the theory of production principles and production revolutions, we reveal the interrelation between K-waves and major technological breakthroughs in history and make forecasts about features of the sixth Kondratieff wave in the light of the Cybernetic Revolution that, from our point of view, started in the 1950s. We assume that the sixth K-wave in the 2030s and 2040s will merge with the final phase of the Cybernetic Revolution (which we call a phase of self-regulating systems). This period will be characterized by the breakthrough in medical technologies which will be capable to combine many other technologies into a single complex of MBNRIC-technologies (med-bio-nano-robo-info-cognitive technologies). The article offers some forecasts concerning the development of these technologies.

Computer simulations are growing in popularity in robotics research due to their near-zero cost of error and lower labor intensity. One of necessary components of a simulation, in addition to a robot model, is a model of a world in which the robot operates. While it is always possible to construct a world model manually, ...
