Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that looks at how living organisms and natural systems solve problems, and applies those principles to human design, technology, and engineering.
The goal is to create solutions that are efficient, sustainable, and aligned with ecological processes — for example, designing buildings that regulate temperature like termite mounds, or developing adhesives inspired by the way geckos stick to surfaces.
KEY POINTS, IDEAS AND NOTIONS FROM THE VIDEO
Nature represents 3.8 billion years of research and development.
It can be argued that our technology-based society has existed for only fifty years.
We are therefore taking inspiration from billions of years of development to accelerate our research for solutions to modern problems.
Engineers are learning from nature.
As Cami said :
Posters should juxtapose images of the inspiration in nature and the technological innovation.
