Biomechatronics: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Biomechatronics" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

Biomechatronics is rapidly becoming one of the most influential and innovative research directions defining the 21st century. Biomechatronics provides a complete and up-to-date account of this advanced subject at the university textbook level. Each chapter is co-authored by top experts led by Professor Marko B. Popovic, researcher and educator at the forefront of advancements in this fascinating field. Beginning with an introduction to biomechatronics and its historical background, this book delves into the most groundbreaking recent developments in a wide variety of subjects, such as artificial organs and tissues, prosthetic limbs, neural interfaces, orthotic systems, wearable systems for physical augmentation, physical therapy and rehabilitation, robotic surgery, natural and synthetic actuators, sensors, and control systems. A number of practice problems and solutions are provided at the end of the book. Two years in the making, the book Biomechatronics is a result of dedicated work of a team of close to thirty contributors from all across the globe including top researchers and educators from the USA (Popovic, Lamkin-Kennard, Sinyukov, Troy, Goodworth, Johnson, Kaipa, Onal, Bowers, Djuric, Fischer, Ji, Jovanovic, Luo, Padir, Tetreault), Japan (Tashiro, Iramina, Ohta, Terasawa), Sweden (Boyraz), Turkey (Arslan, Karabulut, Ortes), Germany (Beckerle, Willwacher), New Zealand (Liarokapis), and Switzerland (Dobrev).

Abstract

Biomechatronics holds a promise to be one of the most influential innovative research directions defining the 21st century. Here, a notion of biomechatronics is defined and various topics encompassed by this crown of science and technology are briefly reviewed in the context of material presented in this book.

Keywords

Biomechatronics; Biological; Mechatronics; Robotics; Bionic

Born at the turn of the 21st century, the word biomechatronics refers to an interdisciplinary field that closely merges biological and mechatronics systems.

Here, mechatronics refers to technology combining electronics and mechanical engineering according to its dictionary definition.

The word biomechatronics, also initially written as bio-mechatronics, has been in use since the late 1990s. Since then, numerous authors have attempted to provide a concise and accurate definition that would most appropriately describe this popular field. Unfortunately, the majority of them failed to some extent either because they artificially limited its notion to only a very specialized subfield, typically, closely related to their own research theme or topic, or because they regrettably missed to fully recognize a fine ambiguity in the level of unification of biological and synthetic systems, here, specifically mechatronics systems.

For example, consider a human driving a car. Is that a biomechatronic system? Probably not, if the car is just an old-fashioned 20th-century car, a machine which is merely mechanically operated by human driver. And probably yes, if the car is an advanced 21st-century car which interfaces more closely with human driver and directly affects the process of driving through a controlled feedback loop. Imagine that this car can sense its environment, own state, and state of the human driver. It can understand user intent, has different levels of communication with a user, and can provide automatic breaking or steering when necessary. For example, interior car cameras can decipher user's attention and direction in which the driver is glimpsing at, based on the orientation of the driver's head and location of irises and eye pupils. Moreover, tremor in operation of steering wheel or gas pedal can be removed or even car seat and specifically neck support could change stiffness levels based on vibration levels introduced by different road conditions. Clearly, this is a prime example of biomechatronic system and human-machine merging.
