Abstract
AbstractThe idea of this Special Issue arose from the technological advances in bionic, robotic, and neural rehabilitation systems and the common need to comprehend in detail how human anatomical structures can be replicated or controlled. Motor control theories, among others, include the generalized control program theory, the equilibrium point hypothesis, or the optimal control approach in which neural commands to the muscles are a result of the central nervous system solving an optimization problem for a specific cost function. No matter the alternative interpretation selected to replicate biological control of human movements, artificial “anatomies” should consider not only motor capabilities from the central nervous system but integrate bioinspired mechanical features (such as compliance) in artificial limbs. The development of wearable robotics and neuroprosthetic systems for human movement compensation and control is naturally inspired by human anatomy and biology. Cutting‐edge technological advances in the field of biomedical and neural engineering are bringing us more and more close to a new artificial anatomy with which humans could augment their motor capabilities or replace them after they are compromised. Either augmentative/assistive or rehabilitation technologies in the near future will require engineering solutions based on novel approaches to create usable neurorobotic and neuroprosthetic systems for the most relevant societal needs.
