When the hand of Luke Skywalker was cut by Darth Vader in trilogy "Star Wars", he received a new functional prosthesis that was fully functional in use and appearance. Today, this science fiction is becoming a reality. Because an exciting new technology called biomechatronics is committed to revolutionary progress in the field of prosthesis. As its name implies, biomechanical integration integrates people and machines. It is an interdisciplinary field including biology, neuroscience and physics. Biomechanical scientists interact with human muscles, bones, and nervous systems to "control human motion control that may be lost or damaged by trauma, illness, or birth defects Support or strengthen "device.
On the other hand, in the field of biomechatronics (ie human integration of artificial intelligence and scientific instruments), the prosthesis is defined as the absence of an artificial body part of the choice. Human limb amputation, so it can be caused by trauma, tumor, congenital disease. According to biodynamics, the prosthesis is considered an alternative prosthetic human loss of the arm and leg. Development of biomechanical and electrical integration provides useful technology for robotic artificial joints. Through the use of amputees through his / her activities in everyday life, and acting as an extension of the body part to be a cutter, to perform with their own body functions to take care of them Prosthodontic robot. Therefore, robotic prostheses are provided to these people with an independent life role, and more productive in society
