Biorobotics is an interdisciplinary science that combines
the fields of biomedical engineering, cybernetics,
and robotics to develop new technologies that integrate
biology with mechanical systems to develop more
efficient communication, alter genetic information, and
create machines that imitate biological systems. It
essentially allows robotics to be a substantial substitute
for biological organism in a chemical as well as a
mechanical capacity. It also replicates the biological
understanding of living organisms and reproduces their
characteristics through artificial means.
One example of biorobotics is the use of DNA structures
to model different technologies. The interplay between
biological DNA and digital DNA models has given us new
methods of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of
health conditions. It has allowed us, in some ways, to
peer inside our anatomy at the DNA level and understand
better what our genes are composed of.
Another high-profile example of biorobotics is the
application of artificial neural networks modelled on the
human brain's biology. Artificial neurons in the layers of a
neural network take in weighted inputs and execute an
activation function for a given output. In the sense that
these are built on biological synapse and neuron design,
you could say this is another aspect of biorobotics.
More quotidian examples of biorobotics would include
prosthesis based on the biology of the arm or leg, and
other kinds of projects where biological systems serve as
the inspiration or modelling component of a new
technology.
