Biomechanics and Robotics M1

The unified discipline dealing with both biological and artificial "organisms" in the context of Biomechanics and Robotics

• Bioengineering

• Biorobotics

• Biomechatronics

• Biocybernetics

The biological actuator that provides linear actuation bt contracting under stimuli

• Gear

• Spring

• Muscle

• Bone

The property of the muscle allows them to efficiently operate at various sizes ,powering both small insects and large animals

• Scalability

• Elasticity

• Density

• Rigidity

The primary fuel source used by muscles for generating energy

• Electricity

• Solar energy

• Oxygen

• Glucose and oxygen

The pprimary advantage of pneumatic actuators over other actuation methods

• High energy density

• Ability to generate high forces

• No need for a power source

• Extremely low cost

The motor operates on the basis electrostatic attraction between capacitor plates

• stepper motor

• servomotor

• Piezoelectric motor

• Hydraulic motor

The fundamental principle behind shape memory alloys

• They remember their original shape and return to their original shape when heated

• They can change their shape at will

• They have high resistance to deformation

• They can expan without any external influenec

The primary function of alpha motor neurons

• Control muscle spindle sensitivity

• convey sensory information

• Initiate muscle contraction

• Transmit visual signals

The type of sensor sensitive to touch,force,pressure

• Thermocouple

• photodetector

• Tactile sensor

• Pressure transducer

The part of nervous system responsible for transmitting signals to muscles and glands

• Central nervous system

• Peripheral nervous system

• Autonomic nervous system

• Somatics nervous system
