Control theory is not only a fundamental notion for understanding feedback paths in physiological systems (endocrine system, immune system, neurological system) but also a particular concept for building artificial organs (legs, hands, knees), and in controlling artificial devices (pacemakers, insulin injection devices). On the other side, control theory profoundly impacts the everyday lives of a large part of the human population including the disabled and the elderly who use assistive and rehabilitation robots for improving the quality of their lives and increasing their independence. Control Theory in Biomedical Engineering: Applications in Physiology and Medical Robotics highlights the importance of control theory and feedback control in our lives and explains how this theory is at the centre of future medical developments. The book is suitable for graduate students and researchers in both the control engineering and biomedical engineering fields. The book can also interest medical students and practitioners who want to enhance their understanding of physiological processes and medical robotics.
