Engineering Biomechanics - A Component of International Educational Project "FESTO-SYNERGY"

Abstract

The modern concept of automation production uses the principles of integration of the element base at the level of systems that allows to create universal and specialized automated technological systems for solving various technological problems. Such integration has led to the appearance and development of a new area of science and technology -mechatronics. A characteristic feature of mechatronics is a synergistic unity of energy and information streams aimed at achieving a common goal. Within the framework of the International Project «FESTO-SYNERGY" in the Laboratory of Biomechanics of the Sevastopol State University was created a number of test devices for the modeling of movements of human skeleton elements. The use in these devices mechatronic modules FESTO has allowed to make them universal and to provide complex laws of motion of the executive bodies, the implementation of which is required for simulating of natural human movements as a biomechanical system.
