When a person loses a limb, an organ, or some other part of the body from an accident or from birth defects, they can turn to machines to partially replace what they have lost. By analyzing the human skeleton, nervous system, and muscles, scientists are trying to design machines that are compatible with the way a normal human body functions. How Does Biomechatronics Work? There are many components to prosthetic systems. However, each system has to contain biosensors, mechanical sensors, a controller, and an actuator (Freudenrich).
