Biosignal-Based Biomechatronics Studies
BIOSIGNAL-BASED BIOMECHATRONICS STUDIES

Human-machine interaction based systems are the focus of research and productization efforts in the field of biomechatronics. In parallel with technological developments and breakthroughs, their use for health and military purposes is expected to become more widespread in the coming years.

The most well-known outputs of biomechatronic systems in the field of health are orthosis, prosthesis and rehabilitation devices, and one of the most important focal points of research and development studies is exoskeleton systems. Exoskeletons are wearable biomechatronic systems that help to perform the desired and/or difficult-to-perform movement sequences and have features that increase the performance of the user.

Advanced material studies in exoskeleton development studies enable the development of mechanical infrastructures that are long-lasting, lightweight, comfortable to use and provide high force and torque transmission. In addition, the development of infrastructures that can understand or predict the user's desired movement with high accuracy and efficiency, and the development of sensors for high- resolution and real-time environmental data measurement are of great importance.

In order to meet these needs, the Research Center carries out research and development activities for the real-time analysis and interpretation of biosignals to detect user movements in advance and to create controller input for the actuators in the exoskeleton system.
