Biomechatronics
Biomechatronics
Biomechatronics (pronounced: bio-mecha-tronics) is an applied interdisciplinary science that aims to integrate biology, mechanics, and electronics. It also encompasses the fields of robotics and neuroscience. The term was coined from the words "biology", "mechanics", and "electronics".
Etymology
The term "Biomechatronics" is derived from the words "biology", "mechanics", and "electronics". "Biology" is derived from the Greek words "bios" meaning "life" and "logia" meaning "study of". "Mechanics" is derived from the Greek word "mēkhanē" meaning "contrivance". "Electronics" is derived from the word "electron", the subatomic particle that carries a negative electric charge.
