Biotronics, medtronics, micromedtronics: a new terminology in MIMETS. The nonlinear generation of mechatronic systems in medicine and surgery

Micro-Mechatronic Systems (MI-METS) define a new generation of integrated biomedical micro-manufacturing mechatronic systems and devices for surgery and rehabilitation. Sensors, actuators and the computational technologies are the basic technological domains to obtain integrated tools for biomedical applications. The Actron represents a new generation of METS that works in a nonlinear, full-integrated action. This action is fractal, requiring a time-space scaling. Bioactronics is the new discipline in which the interaction between the biological structures and the actron system is analysed.
