Biomechanics and Robotics

The science and technology of biomechanics and robotics promise to be some of the most influential research directions of the twenty-first century. Biomechanics and Robotics go beyond the individual areas of biomechanics, robotics, biomedical engineering, biomechatronics, and biologically inspired robotics to provide the first unified textbook on the subject. It offers a “big picture” look at the state-of-the-art science and technology. With numerous figures, references, and exercises, the book presents a pedagogical introduction to various topics, reviews historical developments, and gives up-to-date insights into modern-day biomechanics and robotics.
