Bionics : learning from nature as an inspiration for independent technical design

Biological Design : ecologically informed design for sustainability

Biomimicry : nature as a mentor, measure and model

BIOMIMICRY vs. BIONICS

FORM & MOTION (robotic snakes)

MATERIALITY (waterproofing)

METHODS OF MANUFACTURE (spiderwebs)

MECHANISMS (velcro, sonar)

ORGANIZATIONAL SYSTEMS

Monday, July 22, 13

Implementing a function found in nature rather than imitating biological structures

Cybernetics : Model the feedback and control systems [how it is achieved]

AI : Model the intelligent function of a system [regardless of how it can be achieved]
