Slithering snake-like robots look primed to service and maintain underwater structures as several firms continue tests on prototypes that could eventually populate our oceans. This week, April 13, Carnegie Mellon University (CMU) robotics lab announced it has added swimming to its snake robot’s list of capabilities, “allowing the modular robotics platform […]
Many architecture firms are adopting 3D printing as a cheap and efficient way to build and design their new buildings. One such instance is Reeform (“reef” plus “form”) which draws inspiration from the coral reefs. A series of modular islands intended to make waterfront inhabitants both more […]
The octopus is an incredibly complex and profound creature, and is the smarted invertebrate on the planet so it was only a matter of time before we started to take elements of the octopus and translate them into technology. This article describes scientists journey to prototype and create a robot-octopus that […]
Biomimicry Switzerland is an Association of practitioners in or from Switzerland working to translate the genius of the natural world into human innovation and problem solving. We are based in the Interlaken area, Zürich, Lausanne and internationally. Our mission is to empower humanity to learn and apply the greatest lessons from […]
Arizona State University is known for a lot of things, but this might not be one of them. Tempe, Arizona is home to the Sun Devils’ BIRTH (Bio-Inspired Robotics Technology and Healthcare) Lab, a space dedicated to the furthering of scientific research by drawing inspiration from nature. The BIRTH Lab specializes […]
This paper is a look into the use of antennae on stick insects for control of locomotion through tactile contact sensing.
The Biomimicry Institute empowers people to create nature-inspired solutions for a healthy planet. The purpose of the Biomimicry Institute is to naturalize biomimicry in the culture by promoting the transfer of ideas, designs, and strategies from biology to sustainable human systems design. It was founded in 2006 with the purpose of […]
