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
Monday, July 22, 13
FORM & MOTION (robotic snakes)
MATERIALITY (waterproofing)
METHODS OF MANUFACTURE (spiderwebs)
MECHANISMS (velcro, sonar)
ORGANIZATIONAL PRINCIPLES (bird flocking, swarm intelligence of fish)
PROPERTIES of BIOMIMICRY

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]
CYBERNETICS & A.I.
