Description

Bionics is the science of fusing artificial parts with human parts in order to duplicate body functions. Though most people understand bionics to be the creation of "superhumans," the practical applications are less dramatic, such as hearing aids, artificial limbs, and artificial hearts. In fact one out of every ten Americans depends on some type of artificial physical enhancement device. The future of this science holds amazing potential--from the creation of artificial nervous systems that would allow paralyzed people to move, to devices that would give sight to the blind.

Description

This text describes non-conventional methods of control of human extremities, emphasizing the fact that conventional approaches used in robotics are limited when used in humans for restoration of reaching and grasping (goal-oriented movements), standing and locomotion (cyclic movements). The use of artificial neural networks, inductive learning, skill-based expert systems and finite-state representation of movements is the base of this non-conventional control theory. A specific number of realized applications are included in the book to illustrate how these computer techniques can improve the function of assistive systems in physically challenged humans. The theory presented is applicable to the control of robots and industrial manipulators.
