Preface
We hereby are delighted to launch our book entitled Robotic Technologies in
Biomedical and Healthcare Engineering. The rapid progress of the Robotic and
Artificial Intelligence technique provides new opportunities for biomedical and health-
care engineering. Today’s modern world is currently under a significant i nfluence on
innovative technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Deep Learning, Robotics, and
IoT. This book aims to present the various approaches, techniques, and their appli-
cations that are available in the field of biomedical and healthcare. It is a valuable
source of knowledge for researchers, engineers, practitioners, and g raduate and doc-
toral students working in the same field. It will also be useful for faculty members of
graduate schools and universities. Around 30 full-length chapters have been received.
Among these manuscripts, nine chapters have been included in this volume. All the
chapters submitted were peer-reviewed by at least two independent reviewers, who
were provided with a detailed review pro forma. The comments from the reviewers
were communicated to the authors, who incorporated the suggestions in their revised
manuscripts. The recommendations from two reviewers were taken into consideration
while selecting chapters for inclusion in the volume. The e xhaustiveness of the review
process is evident, given the large number of articles received addressing a wide range
of research areas. The stringent review process ensured that each published chapter
met the rigorous academic and scientific standards.
We would also like to thank the authors of the published chapters for adhering to
the time schedule and for incorporating the review comments. We wish to extend our
heartfelt acknowledgment to the authors, peer-reviewers, committee members, and
production staff whose diligent work put shape to this volume. We especially want
to thank our dedicated team of peer-reviewers who volunteered for the arduous and
tedious step of quality checking and critique on the submitted chapters.
