The specialization of marine cybernetics attempts to improve the performance of such equipment as the machinery, energy equipment, and electronic equipment that are the essential elements in human-created marine structures by using the science and technologies pertaining to functional materials that are used as the building blocks of control, informational, electrical, electronic, and newer equipment. Together with these the specialization involves education research into technologies for systematizing the construction of such objects as human-created structures or robots, while achieving organic assembly, having efficient processes, a reduced impact on the environment, and functions that allow adaptation to a variety of situations while maintaining safety and comfort.

This field of specialization uses a cybernetic perspective that makes full use of technologies such as management, informational, electrical, electronic, and functional materials to pursue methods for the efficient and more environmentally sound operation and running of such applications as sea-going vessels, marine robots, offshore structures, and the equipment that constitute these, as well as operation and running methods that preserve safety and comfort while adapting to a diverse range of situations. Students must endeavor to formulate concepts through their own mental acuity by returning to the underlying fundamental concepts, as this field requires them to understand and have a good command of a broad range of specialized knowledge. In deepening such understanding it is essential for students to know the issues relating to the operation and running of actual systems in working environments.

Cybernetics is an advanced interdisciplinary field still under development that incorporates model theorems on human information processing and that originally began with theories on information transmission and management for living organisms and machines. This fascinating field of study facilitates the creation of revolutionary systems by applying these technologies to human-made marine structures.
