Bionics is a field, which combines both electronics and biology. In simple terms, when we think about bionics, it is generally more about prosthetic arms or leg enhancement worn outside the body and, to some extend, even implanted sensor devices inside the body, which are essentially enhanced to carry out certain routine tasks. These are essentially life systems that are powered by motors/actuators and sensory arrays. These send neural signals from affected part of the body to the brain, by which individual are Able to perform certain tasks independently. TABLE OF CONTENT

1. Introduction
Bionics (also known as biomimetics, biognosis, biomimicry, or bionical creativity engineering) is the application of methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. Unfortunately, we are not bestowed with such unique regenerating capabilities that the starfish or the common lizard possess to grow back our arms and legs, restoring them to their original state. Stem cell research may be the answer, but no one knows for sure and, till then, it’s going to be artificial implants and this is where bionics comes into the picture. Let’s take a look at all that could possibly be done to restore or reconstruct a damaged human body. In simple terms, when we think about bionics, it is generally more about prosthetic arms or leg enhancement worn outside the body and, to some extend, even implanted sensor devices inside the
