This research project has made the following progress during the past year:1. Additional fieldwork and interviews were conducted with a small number of informants involved in virtual reality and robotics research in Japan. These interviews confirmed several conclusions reached during the earlier phase of this study related to the significance of cybernetics to Japanese research.2. A study was made of the papers of Norbert Wieners at the MIT Library Institute Archives, focusing on correspondence with collaborators in Japan and papers related to (1) early correspondence (circa 1915) related to philosophical topics predating cybernetics, and (2) later correspondence (circa 1960) pertaining to the translation of cybernetics texts into foreign languages, particularly Japanese. This study indicated the nature of the relationships between Wiener and his Japanese collaborators surrounding the spread of cybernetics and provided direction for future research.3. Several conference presentations were made related to the present research at international conferences, and collaborative relationships with international researchers were established.

在过去的一年中，该研究项目取得了以下进展：在日本，对参与虚拟现实和机器人研究的少数线人进行了额外的实地调查和访谈。这些访谈证实了本研究早期阶段得出的关于控制论对日本研究的重要性的几个结论。一项研究是对诺伯特·维纳斯在麻省理工学院图书馆研究所档案馆的论文进行的，重点是与日本合作者的通信，以及与以下相关的论文：(1)早期通信（大约1915年）与控制论之前的哲学主题有关，(2)后来的通信（大约1960年）与控制论文本翻译成外语，特别是日语有关。这一研究揭示了维纳和他的日本合作者围绕控制论传播的关系的本质，并为未来的研究提供了方向。在国际会议上就目前的研究作了几次会议报告，并与国际研究人员建立了合作关系。
