Abstract :
Biomechatronics is the development and optimization of mechatronic systems using biological and medical knowledge. This strategy may be exemplified by bionically inspired robotics: identification of biological principles and their transfer into technical solutions extends the engineer´s toolbox. This modified kind of constructive thinking needs an adapted foundation in academic education.
