What is biomimicry and what are the main benefits?
In: Biology
Biomimicry is a design technique where designers look at living organisms for inspiration on how to accomplish a task that’s already been done by nature. Generally speaking, nature has been optimizing things for millions of years (although the number varies) and has come up with some really nifty solutions that we can try to replicate. We’ve made self sharpening knives based on sea urchin teeth and more hydrodynamic surface based on shark skin. One of the biggest advances is AI. Modern AI are based on the same operating principle as brains (neural networks) and more niche ones have been designed around hive insects (like ants and bees), immune systems, and evolution.
