Motorikára

Motorikára is a term used in some branches of movement science and robotics to denote the integrated study and application of motor execution, perception, and control in both biological organisms and artificial agents. The word is used in niche literature and is not universally standardized, leading to varying definitions across disciplines. In practice, motorikára encompasses the coordination of muscles and limbs, the processing of sensory feedback, and the algorithms that govern action in autonomous machines and human–machine interfaces.

Researchers exploring motorikára examine motor control and sensorimotor integration, as well as rehabilitation, athletic performance, and the design of robotic and prosthetic systems. Methodologies include motion capture and kinematic analysis, electromyography, computational modeling, and control theory applied to real-time actuation.

The term is sometimes favored in contexts that stress integration across biological and technological systems, though many scholars prefer established terms such as motor control, biomechanics, or robotics for precision. Critics argue that motorikára can obscure discipline-specific methods and findings and may contribute to terminological confusion. Supporters contend that it highlights cross-disciplinary links and a holistic perspective on movement.
