Biomimicry 3. 8 is the worlds leading bioinspired consultancy offering biological intelligence consulting, professional training, and inspiration. This is a handbook of recipes for computational problem solving techniques from the fields of Computational Intelligence, Biologically Inspired. This profound and accessible book details how science is studying natures best ideas to solve our toughest 21stcentury problems. If chaos theory transformed our view of the universe, biomimicry is transforming our life on Earth. Biomimicry innovation inspired by forms, processes and systems found in nature is a tool that allows companies to develop a new class of products and services. Le biomimtisme dsigne un processus d'innovation et une ingnierie. Il s'inspire des formes, matires, proprits, processus et fonctions du vivant. Il peut concerner des chelles nanomtriques et biomolculaires avec par exemple l'ADN et l'ARN, et jusqu' des chelles macroscopiques et cosystmiques, incluant donc les services cosystmiques. BiomimicryNorway is a nonprofit organisation seeking to promote the practice of sustainable innovation inspired by nature. We want to regroup in a network all the people in Norway who are working with biomimicry or simply curious about it. By tapping into nature's billions of years of RD, innovative companies are abstracting strategies from nature and developing transformative technologies. In this inspiring talk about recent developments in biomimicry, Janine Benyus provides heartening examples of ways in which nature is already influencing the products and systems we build. Discover how natureinspired innovation is transforming the marketplace, advancing scientific thought and creating sustainable, competitive advantages. ; Hear from thought leaders, cuttingedge manufacturers, educators, and experts in biology, engineering, design and organizational development. Each presenter will provide a different perspective on how looking to nature. In the redesigned train, curved and serrated owl feathers inspired the pantograph rig that connects the train to the electric wires above. A penguins smooth body shape, which allows the bird to swim and slide effortlessly, helped lower wind resistance on the rig supports. Life on earth presents elegant solutions to many of the challenges that designers and innovators face every day. Explore AskNature to find biological strategies, inspired ideas, and resources relative to your own innovation challenges, so you can begin to emulate the timetested forms, processes, and systems that already thrive in balance with Earths complex systems. Five Differences with Sustainable Innovation. Sustainability Factors are Balanced with Performance, Cost, Technology and Desirability: traditionally innovation balances priorities like performance, cost, technology and attractiveness to produce a better solution for customers and business. Sustainable innovation also does this, but adds social and environmental factors too. The Biomimicry Institute empowers people to create natureinspired solutions for a healthy planet. Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating natures timetested patterns and strategies. Similar concepts include biomimetics and bioinspired design. Bionics or biologically inspired engineering is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology. The word bionic was coined by Jack E. Steele in 1958, possibly originating from the technical term bion (pronounced BEEon; from Ancient Greek: bos), meaning 'unit of life' and the suffix ic, meaning. Biomimicry: Inventions Inspired by Nature [Dora Lee, Margot Thompson on Amazon. FREE shipping on qualifying offers. Biomimicry examines the extraordinary innovations of the natural world and the human inventions they have inspired. Readers will learn about marvels such as highperformance swimsuits modeled after sharkskin and the sleek front ends of Japanese bullet trains. Good design solving tough engineering problems can often be achieved through biomimicry or imitating things found in nature. The shinkansen bullet trains in Japan are one such example. An article from the MedStar Institute for Innovation (MI2). A billion people don't have enough drinking water. Desalinating oceans is economically and environmentally expensive. Biomimicry looks at how nature does it. Cocreation initiatives are deployed more and more frequently. This week an aggregation of five cocreation examples to get inspired and research the opportunities that a. Biomimetics or biomimicry is the imitation of the models, systems, and elements of nature for the purpose of solving complex human problems. The terms biomimetics and biomimicry derive from Ancient Greek: (bios), life, and (), imitation, from (mmeisthai), to imitate, from (mimos), actor. A closely related field is bionics. Like a school bus pirouetting under water, a humpback whale (Megaptera novaeangliae) 4050 feet long and weighing nearly 80, 000 pounds swims in circles tight enough to produce nets of bubbles only 5 feet across while corralling and catching krill, its shrimplike prey. Many types of butterflies use lightinteracting structures on their wing scales to produce color. The cuticle on the scales of these butterflies wings is composed of nano and microscale, transparent, chitinandair layered structures. P lants have adaptations to help them survive (live and grow) in different areas. Adaptations are special features that allow a plant or animal to live in a particular place or habitat. These adaptations might make it very difficult for the plant to survive in a different place. Learning from nature: In our Bionic Learning Network, the principles of nature provide us with new insights for technology and industrial applications. Bionics4Education allows the world of bionics to be experienced in the classroom with a practical training kit and a digital.
