Abstract

With the biomechanical fusion system consisting of biological parts and artificial mechanical parts, we can incorporate the excellent properties of living organisms into the engineering system. The most important thing in such a system is how to interface biological and mechanical parts. In this research, in order to freely move the musculoskeleton of the living body, the purpose is to know what kind of stimulation should be given to the nerve. Using Xenopus as an experimental subject, we examined the relationship between the pattern of electrical stimulation and the posture of the lower extremity. Experimentally showed that we can make the lower limb in desired posture using the obtained relation.
