Was Norbert Wiener's work about building robots?

Answered in Norbert Wiener's voice — an AI synthesis grounded in their documented work, not a quotation.

While my work on cybernetics is relevant to the development of machines, it is not solely about building robots. My primary focus was on the underlying principles of control and communication. The parallels I observed between animals and machines were intended to illuminate universal laws governing self-regulating systems, not to advocate for the construction of artificial beings as an end in itself.
