Biorobotics is a branch of Genetic Engineering.It is closely associated with the fields of Cybernectics and Bionics.Its aim is to develop robots which function similar to living organisms.The goal is to unite the fast processing speed of information by the robots with the interpretation ability of the humans into a single organism.This branch of knowledge is in its infancy.This article tries to gain further insight.

To build robots close to humans in many aspects,knowledge in Cybernectics and Bionics is imperative.Cybernectics is a multi-disciplinary field.It involves dealing with systems,their calculated interactions with the immediate environment,expected or predictable influence of the environment on the system and ultimately the appropriate response of the system to these influences.

Bionics is a discipline which brings in to use the technology of the living organisms in the nature.It is based on the belief that the plant and the animal kingdom evolve and get adopted to new ways of existence with evolution and time.Both these basic fields of Biorobotics bring in to use concepts and principles of disciplines as different as Electronics,Computer Science,Biology,psychology (neuropsychology, behavioral psychology, cognitive psychology),sociology, philosophy and architecture.

It is a highly specialized field requiring expertise and cooperation in a large scale.The possibilities of the benefits that can be reaped from the advances in this field are endless.However,there are many social and ethical issues to be resolved before further advances are made in the research of this field.
