Antibody functionalized inorganic NPs: mimicking nature for targeted diagnosis and therapy -- Soft matter composites interfacing with biomolecules, cells and tissue -- Biosensing detection -- Emerging technologies inspired by plants -- Mechanism and structures: humanoids and quadrupeds -- Sensorimotor coordination in a humanoid robot: building intelligence on the iCub -- Towards a “brain guided” cognitive architecture -- Human Machine Interaction and Communication in Cooperative Actions -- Complexity and computation at the synapse: multilayer architecture and role of diffusion in shaping synaptic activity and computation -- Brain function: Novel technologies driving novel understanding.

The present book discusses topics related to research and development of materials and devices at nanoscale size and their respective application in medicine and biomedicine. The individual chapters give a detailed state of the art overview to the distinct topic. Apparently disconnected fields - life sciences, biomedicine, chemistry, physics, medicine and engineering - are bridged with a highly interdisciplinary view onto each subject.
