1.3 CONCLUSIONS
Biomechanics application, especially the robot-assisted rehabilitation is a promis-
ing area where engineering technology is combined and applied in rehabilitation
medicine. The close cognitive and physical interaction between robots, a systemic
biomechatrionic approach is required in order to develop this scientific area fully.
The trend of modern biomechatronics will increase miniaturization in component
design and increase intelligence which mainly in the areas of intelligent cognitive
and physical human-machine interaction. Furthermore, more compact solutions
based on multifunctional components are developed continuously with the inte-
gration of hybrid systems.
