Biomechatronics

Biomechatronics is the interdisciplinary study of biology, mechanics, and electronics focusing on the interaction of biological organs and electromechanical devices. It has potential for developing advanced medical devices and life support systems, as seen by the interest from universities and research centers worldwide. Examples of existing biomechatronic devices include heart pacemakers and defibrillators, while more exciting future possibilities may involve pancreas pacemakers, electronic muscle stimulators, and devices wired into the brain to provide sight or hearing.

Biomechatronics 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. Universities and research centers worldwide have taken notice of biomechatronics in light of its potential for development of advanced medical devices and life-support systems. Primitive biomechatronic devices have existed for some time; the heart pacemaker and the defibrillator are examples. More exciting biometchatronic possibilities that scientists foresee in the near future include pancreas pacemakers for diabetics, mentally controlled electronic muscle stimulators for stroke and accident survivors, cameras that can be wired into the brain allowing blind people to see, and microphones that can be wired into the brain allowing deaf people to hear.
