Robots of Stanisław Lem → Lem and robotics – Article does not appear to have been created by someone with English as their first language, "blank and blank" makes critical discussion of the subject easier by widening the scope and would bring it in line with the precedent laid down by things like the cornucopia of "Tolkien and blank" articles maintained by Chiswick.

Support alternate move to Stanisław Lem and robots, he is not known on a last-name basis in quite the same way as, say, Tolkien. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 16:04, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
How strongly do you feel about "robots" versus "robotics"? The former seems like it would be closer to the sources but the latter would be more useful as an actual topic. Orchastrattor (talk) 18:22, 6 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
It seems to me that while he is well-known for his ideas about robots that "might be", it doesn't go into such detail on how they would realistically work that it would be considered "robotics", just conceptions of robots operated by as-yet-unknown principles. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 11:10, 7 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

"Summa Technologiae (1964), a book-length essay contains Chapter 4: "Intellectronics", a term coined by Lem to speculate on the field that is known today as artificial intelligence, in lieu of the term "cybernetics" banned in the Soviet Bloc."

Cybernetics was banned up to 1954, it got banned during the rule of Stalin. In 1964 Stalin was long dead and Cybernetics was not banned in the Soviet Union. 147.235.197.177 (talk) 21:46, 6 February 2024 (UTC)Reply

It appears you are correct. In fact, since mid-1950s the Soviet/Russian term "Kibernetika" meant what is called computer science in English. 05:07, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
