1. Had you had a wish that⌠The science fiction stories become true in your real life? You turn into a Lizard in features? You become a T600 prototype?
4. DR. HUGH HERR Associate Professor, MIT-Harvard Division of Health Sciences and TechnologyDirector of the Biomechatronics Group
5. WHAT IS BIOMECHATRONICS? The merging of man with machine. Interdisciplinary field encompassing biology, neurosciences, mechanics, electronics and robotics
6. ORTHOTICS ORTHOSES Instruments applied to the human body to align, support, or correct deformities, or to improve the movement of joints, spine, or limbs. FLAT FOOT phenomenon External
7. REASONS Severe injury , disease or cancer can sometimes damage portions of the body beyond their capacity to regenerate or heal. TISSUE DEATH > LACK OF BLOOD FLOW SURGERY AMPUTATION
8. DEVICES Artificial components designed to replace a part of the human body that is missing, either due to accident or a birth defect Prosthetic Limbs Prosthetic Makeup Dentures PROSTHETICS
10. RESEARCH IN Design- Complex finer movements Interfacing with the nervous system (implantable electrodes in brain and muscle, surface galvanic electrodes on skin) Living muscle tissue as actuators for electronic devices
11. Acts as a translator between biological and electronic systems Monitors the movements of the biomechatronic device COMPONENTS 1. CONTROLLER
12. 2. BIOSENSOR sensitive biological element the transducer or the detector element associated electronics or signal processors EG: BLOOD GLUCOSE level, detecting pathogens in food,âŚ
15. CONTRAST WITH Neural prosthetics: Using artificial devices to replace the function of impaired nervous systems or sensory organs Nervous system device BCI: Brain (or nervous system) computer system External BRAIN COMPUTER INTERFACE
16. BIOMIMETICS Branch of study which focuses on using nature as an inspiration to solve problems faced by the humans on Earth. Heavy focus on sustainability, efficiency, and rethinking the way that we do things
19. Cornea - Scattered light from the object enters Iris - The light is projected onto the retina. Retina - sends info to the brain thro optic nerve(has rods, cones & ganglion cells) The brain interprets what the object is. How we see?
20. Gene and Drug therapy Transplantation Prosthetics Stem cell technology Possible methods for second sight
21. Principle of visual prosthetics Replicating the biological function using electronic devices. Components: A digital camera (in glasses) A video-processing microchip (hand held unit) A radio transmitter (in glasses) A Radio receiver (near the ear or under eye) A retinal implant
23. Process of Implantation Step 1: Three tiny incisions in the white part of the eye. Step 2:Removing the gel from the eye Step 3:A portion of the retina is lifted up Step 4:The device is implanted in the socket created
38. WHAT IS ARM PROSTHETICS?? An arm prosthetic is a replacement for a missing arm. Missing arm may be congenital or traumatic. TYPES: Lower Extremity Prosthetics Upper Extremity Prosthetics

40. myoelectric legs. 2.trans-femural (any amputation transecting the femur bone or a congenital anomaly resulting in a femural deficiency). Known as above knee Prosthetics/
42. BASIC COMPONENTS OF CABLE OPERATED PROSTHETIC LEG Pylon -Internal frame or skeleton of the prosthetic limb. Sockets The interface between the residual limb and the prosthesis.
43. BASIC COMPONENTS OF CABLE OPERATED PROSTHETIC LEG Suspension System Holds the socket on your residual limb
46. PARTS OF BIOLOGICAL HAND Sensory neurons Motor neurons Receptors Interneurons
47. BIOLOGICAL HAND Impulses sent from brain Muscles contract Nerve cells in the skin sense the impulse Once it receives the signal it sends the appropriate signal, to complete the task.
49. PARTS OF AN i-LIMB Electrode Controller Actuator Sensors Biosensor Mechanical Sensor
50. i-LIMB Electrical signals sent to the muscles from the brain. Electrodes pick up the electrical signals. The signal sent to the controller. The controller then sends a signal to the actuator which acts as an artificial muscle. The biosensors and mechanical sensors relay information about the limb and its surroundings back to the controller which sends the information to the brain.
52. The i-LIMB hand is the future of neural artificial hands. The hand not only is the most versatile in functionality, but also the most cosmetically appealing. Unlike other artificial hands, the i-LIMB hand features individually controlled digits (fingers and thumb). Each finger base has an individually powered motor, allowing for increased precision and dexterity. This allows the device to operate using several different grips, instead of just âopenâ or âclosed.â
56. LIVING SKIN The i-LIMB skin is âa thin layer of semi-transparent material that has been computer-modeled to accurately wrap to every contour of the hand.â The High Definition Cosmesis. The skin also provides a grip surface for the i-LIMB and a sealant to protect the device from the elements. The LIVINGSKIN can be customized to the most minute details, including moles, freckles, hair, and skin tone

82. Designed specifically for the 68HC11 and HC12 chipsThe program perform three main functions: 1)move the tail servos in the correct pattern to produce forward and turning movements, 2) to sense objects in the water using sonar, and 3) avoid any objects in the water

84. the same transducer can then act as a microphone , using an analog switch IC.
85. The transducer converts this echo back into a sinusoidal voltage.
86. The echo signal is passed though an analogband-pass nfilter.
