Our Design is the catalyst,connecting and converging Motorola’s superior technology with our Human User’s Real Life.
1: DESIGN VISION
Franco Lodato October 2004
Bionics or Biodesign deals with the technical transformation and application of structures, procedures and developmental principles of biological systems.
An interdisciplinary research fields that combines biology with engineering, architecture and mathematics
2: DESIGN IN NATURE

Franco Lodato October 2004Re-discovering a “New Language”
Franco Lodato October 2004
1)Identify suitable opportunities target areas.
2)Select relevant biological models and undertake or commission research to understand them.
3)Abstract this understanding into Engineering analogues.
4)Assess the feasibility of incorporating this technology into useful product prototypes.

MOTOROLA OFFSPRING (‘WEARABLES’) CONCEPTUAL DESIGN
Motorola Offspring (‘Wearables’) is a design exploration of a family of connected, modular wireless communication
devices. The concepts utilize Motorola’s iDEN technology, as well as the latest advances in miniaturization and
Bluetooth technology, to enable entertainment, business, and security-related communications and broadband
applications. The devices, individually designed to be worn as fashionable accessories, each have an independent
power source and memory. Each device communicates and shares information with the other devices and the user,
operating as a seamless personal network.

The Brain:The Final Frontier?
Franco Lodato October 2004
To go Faster we need to look Further…..
Sensors – based on nerve functioning (stress, strain, temperature, vision, chemical)Mechanism design - skeletal structure or pure biological geometry Mechanical structures, schemes and mechanisms - exoskeletons, flexures/elasticity--bugs have it allFluid systems - pumps, valves, cooling of dwellingsHeat transfer management – cooling of core body temperature, transfer of heat from one region to anotherEnergy management – creation of heat, reflection, absorption, insulationTaking advantage of phase change - one beetle uses its' shell to collect condensation and then hydrate itselfWater resistance and waterproofingChemical resistanceColor management and color changing ability – chameleon / octopus, pigments, bioluminescence.Behavior - swarming and collective behavior, making computers behave with a "hive mind" similar to ants/bees.Motion control (incl. visual processing and feedback) algorithms –MIT AI lab Methods of locomotionActuator development - muscle mimicry, potential energy windup like in grasshopper or ballerina legs, etc.Learning / perception algorithms -Interaction principles - human-machine interaction is very different to human interactions with living thingsUse of exothermic reactions - producing light, heatEnergy storage - nice fat cell in your next walkman?Sticking surfaces / adhesionConstruction techniques – e.g. a gopher and beavers.Fluid management - pumps, valves, hearts, etc.Textures –Fibers – materials, propertiesInformation dissemination – inspired by dandelion seeds, owl calls, bee dances, disease spreading, etc.....
BioDesign Database

Humility Nature is THE master designerSpider web vs. steelAbalone shell vs. Kevlar
Imitate, don’t duplicateBe creative in your interpretation of natures lessonsUnderstand why nature chose its solution
Biodesign ≠ SustainabilityBe clear about your motives for applying Biodesign
Yet another argument for a multidisciplinary approachThe microscope is the designer’s new best friend
Biologist+Designer > Many Designers
Mimicry can be the first step towards creative thinking
We are on the cusp of a great movementAn opportunity for all of us to play a part
BioDesign Lessons
Franco Lodato October 2004
• The tool to influence the Concept Process
• Stimulate Creativity in design
• Results in innovative solutions
• Allows contributions from other Disciplines
• Expand knowledge and remove barriers
