1. Bionic materials: Bionic materials are new materials with similar characteristics designed and manufactured by studying the structure and function of living organisms in nature. For example, self-cleaning materials made after the microstructure of lotus leaves, and antifouling materials made after the nanostructure of shark skin.
2. Biomimetic robot: Biomimetic robot is to design and manufacture robots similar to living organisms by studying the structure and behavior of living organisms. For example, the flying machine designed after the wings and movement of insects, the amphibious robot designed after the mouth and movement of crocodiles.
3. Biomimetic medicine: Biomimetic medicine is the development and application of medical equipment and technology through the study of the structure and physiological functions of living organisms. For example, artificial heart valves designed after the swimming fins of fish, and bandages made after the microstructure of dragonfly wings.
4. Biomimetic architecture: Biomimetic architecture is the design and construction of buildings that meet human needs through the study of the form, structure and function of living organisms in nature. For example, the Olympic stadium designed after the bird's nest, the building shell designed after the structure of the beehive.
5. Bionic Sensors: Bionic sensors are new sensors developed and applied through the study of the organism's sensory organs and nervous system. For example, high sensitivity sensors designed after the visual system of insects, pressure sensors designed after the scales of fish.
These examples are just the tip of the iceberg of bionics applications, and there are many other directions and applications for bionics research.
