This field is transforming healthcare by enabling minimally invasive interventions, intelligent rehabilitation systems, and assistive technologies that restore and augment human capabilities. The next generation biomedical robotic systems must integrate mechanical design, biomechanics, sensing, and intelligent control to operate safely within human-centered environments. Addressing these challenges requires engineering solutions grounded in mechatronic design methodologies, biomechanical modeling, and precision manufacturing.
