Presentation Transcript


  1. Professor Marko B. Popovic is a faculty member of the Physics Department, Biomedical Engineering Department, and Robotics Engineering Program at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). He is the founder and director of WPI Popovic Labs. Previously, Popovic held research scientist position at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Popovic received his PhD in Physics from Boston University, followed by post-doctoral positions at both Harvard University Physics and MIT Biomechatronics group. He single-authored Biomechanics and Robotics, published in 2013 by Pan Standard Publishing.

  2. Popovic is an avid and successful inventor. His Hydro Muscle invention received the largest compensation for intellectual property from an industry partner in WPI history. The Boston Patent Law Association (BPLA) program "Invented Here!" selected Popovic’s Hydro Bone invention among top 12 patents from more than 12,000 patents granted in New England in 2018 as part of the BPLA’s initiative to honor the region’s newest and most innovative technologies. Results of his work were showcased by Reuters, The Boston Globe, The New York Times, Channel News Asia, Business Insider, CNBC, Yahoo! News, Toronto Sun, Daily Times Pakistan, UK Eurosport, CNN, TIME Magazine, National Geographic, and many other domestic and overseas media.

  3. What is Biomechatronics? Born at the turn of the 21st century, word Biomechatronics refers to an interdisciplinary field that closely relates biological and mechatronics systems. Here, mechatronics refers to technology combining electronics and mechanical engineering according to its dictionary definition. Biomechatronics is a quite wide field covering every system that closely relates biological and mechatronics system within a functionally unified entity. The Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci

  4. Biomechatronics is rapidly becoming one of the most influential and innovative research directions defining the 21st century.  Biomechatronicsprovides a complete and up-to-date account of this advanced subject at the university textbook level. 

  5. This book is intended for students at the undergraduate and graduate levels, their course instructors, and researchers in biomechatronics, biomechanics, robotics, and biomedical engineering as well as for the advanced high school students and the general public. The book is written such as to provide a “big picture” of the 21st century state-of-the-art science and technology by offering a pedagogical introduction to a large variety of topics, a review of some of the historical developments, and the most up-to-date insights into the modern day Biomechatronics

  6. Beginning with an introduction to biomechatronics and its historical background, this book delves into the most groundbreaking recent developments in a wide variety of subjects, such as artificial organs and tissues, prosthetic limbs, neural interfaces, orthotic systems, wearable systems for physical augmentation, physical therapy and rehabilitation, robotic surgery, natural and synthetic actuators, sensors, and control systems. A number of practice problems and solutions are provided at the end of the book.  Each chapter is co-authored by top experts led by Professor Marko B. Popovic, researcher and educator at the forefront of advancements in this fascinating field.

  7. Two years in the making, the bookBiomechatronics is a result of dedicated work of a team of close to thirty contributors from all across the globe including top researchers and educators from the USA (Popovic, Lamkin-Kennard, Sinyukov, Troy, Goodworth, Johnson, Kaipa, Onal, Bowers, Djuric, Fischer, Ji, Jovanovic, Luo, Padir, Tetreault), Japan (Tashiro, Iramina, Ohta, Terasawa), Sweden (Boyraz), Turkey (Arslan, Karabulut, Ortes), Germany (Beckerle, Willwacher), New Zealand (Liarokapis), and Switzerland (Dobrev).
