Introduction to Biomechatronics Biomechatronics is the application of mechatronic engineering to human biology and as such it forms an important subset of the overall biomedical engineering discipline. As with mechatronics which is often synonymous with robotics biomechatronics is often thought of as restricted to the development of prosthetic limbs. However in reality biomechatronics covers a much wider genre than this and along with prosthetic limbs this book examines some of the more interesting applications including those related to hearing respiration vision and the cardiovascular system
