Synopsis
This course basically discusses biomechatronics and its
applications. The first part of the course covers the
understanding of the general working components of a
biomechatronics system, including sensors and transducers,
signal processing, actuators and mechanical systems. Second part
of the course describes major fields of biomechatronics
applications, includingactive and passive prosthetic limbs and
joints, hearing and visual prosthesis, sensory substitution,
artificial heart and respiration system and robotic surgery.
