THE COMPANY
Cybernet Systems Corporation was founded in 1988 as a research and development company committed to creating robotics technology solutions and advancements to human-machine interaction. Cybernet is located in Ann Arbor, Michigan within a 30,000 square foot facility (directly across from the Ann Arbor Airport). The technical staff is led by a dedicated group of Ph.D. and Masters' degreed Engineers, complemented by Engineers, Scientists, and Business staff skilled in Analog & Digital Electronics, RF, Sensors, Robotics, Human-Computer Interaction, Mechanical Design, Electrical Design, Software Development, Network Design & Security, Training & Simulation, Security Systems, Web Methods, Linux, Unix and Windows Software Development, and E-Commerce. Cybernet’s diverse areas of expertise directly result from its over 14 years of leading edge development in interdisciplinary Robotics and Information Technology for federal, state and commercial customers. Since its inception, Cybernet has completed hundreds of research contracts and is the largest Small Business Innovative Research (SBIR) winner in the State of Michigan. Cybernet has been granted many United States patents. Cybernet is a woman-owned small business.
THE VISION
Cybernet's goal is to successfully develop and commercialize technology that combines its engineering and computer science prowess with Internet and/or electronic device capabilities. Unlike pure research companies or universities, Cybernet is driven to leverage intellectual property to increase shareholder value through its focus on commercially attractive innovations -- in other words, to bring its research to market. Cybernet has been extremely successful in this venture by specifically focusing on technologies that enhance human performance. Cybernet has a proven track record of successfully converting research and development endeavors into commercially viable and useful products for the Commercial, Defense and Medical markets. Cybernet consistently works to advance the "state of the art" of user interface design and Internet applications, with the ultimate objective of blurring the lines of human interaction with devices to the point where such interaction becomes transparent.
