报告摘要：
Bionic healthcare engineering aims to advance human health and welling using the state-of-the-art approaches inspired from biological world. This may have great potential in the development of innovative diagnostic, preventative, rehabilitative and therapeutic programs and devices. This talk presents our recent studies in bionic healthcare engineering by exploring the fundamental working principles of the human musculoskeletal system, whilst by developing biologically inspired human-centred robotics and healthcare devices based on learnt biological principles. This involves a range of studies into the biomechanics and motor control of human motions using an integrated experimental, computational and bio-robotic approaches with the long term aim to gain comprehensive understanding of the functions of musculoskeletal systems and the interactions between the musculoskeletal and neuromotor systems. This also includes a range of researches in the development of smart bionic lower limb prosthetics inspired from human musculoskeletal biomechanics, bio-inspired robotic/prosthetic hands with human-like structures, and biologically inspired soft actuation and sensing techniques for healthcare devices.
