Neuromechanics of human and robot movement explores the fascinating interplay between biological systems and robotic technologies. It studies how the nervous system coordinates muscles and joints to achieve fluid movements in humans, contrasting this with how engineers design robotic systems to mimic or enhance these capabilities. Understanding neuromechanics helps in developing advanced prosthetics, exoskeletons, and robots that can interact seamlessly with humans or autonomously perform complex tasks. This field merges principles from neuroscience, biomechanics, and robotics to create more efficient and adaptable machines while gaining insights into human motor control and rehabilitation. By studying these interactions, researchers aim to bridge the gap between biological and artificial systems, potentially revolutionizing fields ranging from healthcare to industry. Most of the topics introduced in this book cover new techniques and the applications of neuromechanics. While understanding the long-term perspectives of the topics, the book makes an effort in highlighting their impact as a modern tool for the growth of the discipline. With state-of-the-art inputs by acclaimed experts of this field, this book targets students and professionals.
