Biomechatronics is the application of mechatronic engineering to human biology,which is the interdisciplinary study of biology, mechanics, and electronics. Biomechatronics focuses on the interactivity of biological organs (including the brain) with electromechanical devices and systems. This course presents the principle, components, current research and application examples in Biomechatronics Engineering. Topics consist of Hearing Aid and Implants, Sensory Substitution and Visual Prostheses, Heart Replacement, Active and Passive Prosthetic Limbs etc. The students are encouraged to use the learned knowledge and skills to design biomechatronics engineering product and develop the prototype.
