IJBBR provides a cross-disciplinary platform for presenting the latest developments in biomechatronics and robot assistive technologies for medical and bio applications. It relates to the design of systems, devices and products for use as assistive tools when interacting with humans and biosystems. The purpose of IJBBR is to provide rapid publication of topical papers featuring practical developments in biomechatronics and robot assistive technology. It will cover a wide range of areas including medical robotics, rehabilitation, assistive technology for elderly and disabled, robotic surgery aids and systems, operative planning tools, medical imaging and visualisation, simulation and navigation, virtual reality, intuitive command and control systems, haptics and sensor technologies.
 Objectives
IJBBR aims to foster a community that encompasses mechatronics researchers, medical practitioners, control researchers, and engineers and computer scientists developing intelligent tools, devices, systems and computational tools in academic and commercial environments, with the intention of promoting and developing the exciting area of biomechatronics and robot assistive technology. Readership
IJBBR provides a platform to help professionals, academics, researchers and policy makers working in the fields of biomechatronics, robot assistive technology, engineering and business education to disseminate information and to learn from each other's work. Contents
IJBBR publishes original papers, review papers, technical reports, case studies, conference reports, book reviews, notes, commentaries, news, correspondence and conference highlights that stimulate discussion and exchange of ideas. Special Issues devoted to important topics in biomechatronics and robot assistive technology will occasionally be published. Subject Coverage
Suitable topics for publication include, but are not limited to:
- Biomechatronics design philosophy
- Biomedical robotics, robotics for medical surgery, orthopaedics, musculoskeletal and visceral surgery
