xiv Preface
When successful, these discoveries promote the health and quality of life for
generations to come.
Sir Isaac Newton founded our understanding of the laws of motion and
gravitation, but saw the thumb to be divine. Our work in biomechatronics is
founded with this same respect for our beautiful abilities. We simply have
the hubris to believe that we can extend our abilities further. The Handbook
of Biomechatronics will provide a glimpse into this field and hopefully motivate
future inventors to attempt to make the divine even better.
