Bionics

2. Bionics - an interdisciplinary science that
studies the structure and principles of
operation of organisms and their adaptation
in technology. Technical equipment is built as
the model of the organisms.

3. Patents developed by researchers use the
solutions found in nature. Developing new
solutions through biomimetics will help to
reduce randomness in scientific research and
make it easier to generate new solutions.

4. Examples of
biomimetics in
engineering
include the hulls
of boats
imitating the
thick skin of
dolphins, sonar,
radar; in
medicine -
medical
ultrasounds
imitating the
voice of bats.

5. Within Information Technology, research in field
of biomimetics have been used in cybernetics,
artificial neurons, artificial networks, and the
miniaturization of silicon components for the
imitating natural neurons

6. An expert of biomimetics - Julian Vincent- a
lecturer at the University of Bath in the UK,
believes that currently only 10% or maybe
less of the solutions inspired by nature and
applied in lives of human beings, we are able
to imitate.

7. In medicine bionics means replacing or
supporting different organs and body parts
by devices that very well imitate their natural
functions, in contrast to the prosthesis. The
cochlear implant for the deaf is the most well
known.

8. Implants or artificial organs, or artificial parts
of the body, are intended to restore the
normal function of the human biological
system. Depending on their location and
function, they can replace or support various
parts of the human body

9. Significant opportunities in
the field of artificial organs
allowed to develop a new
science called bionics.
