Introduction to Biomechatronics by Graham M Brooker

Introduction to Biomechatronics, Second Edition, combines fundamental mechatronic (mechanics, electronics, robotics) engineering knowledge with state-of-the-art device designs that improve quality of life for patients worldwide. This new edition is comprehensively updated and includes new chapters on brain-machine interfaces and exoskeletons.

These volumes bring together mechanics and electronics with human systems, showing how technology can interact with human muscle, skeleton, and nervous systems to assist or replace limbs, senses, and even organs damaged by trauma, birth defects, or diseases.

Volume 1: Mechatronic considerations provides the engineering background to understand all the components of a biomechatronic system: the human subject, stimulus or actuation, transducers and sensors, signal conditioning elements, and feedback and control systems.

Volume 2: Systems and applications discusses devices used with specific functional systems of the body to which biomechatronics can be applied including: the nervous, respiratory, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal systems, examining historical perspectives, technical advances and engineering analysis of current technological solutions such as developing prosthetic limbs or aids for locomotion, hearing, vision, and the cardiovascular system.

Introduction to Biomechatronics, Second Edition is essential reading for researchers and students in biomedical, mechanical, mechatronic and electrical engineers and those in related fields of robotics, sensors, computer science or healthcare systems device design.

Graham M. Brooker is a senior lecturer at the School of Aerospace, Mechanical and Mechatronic Engineering in the Engineering Department of the University of Sydney, Australia. He has published more than 120 journal and conference papers as well as numerous books and book chapters. His research interests include environmental radar imaging, biomechatronics and rehabilitation engineering.
