Increasing need for a sustainable development for existence also. The problems of pollution, increasing artificial diseases, radiationeffects, global Warming, effects of various waves propagating in freespace, reducing resources. Need for alternate source of energy. Dan Browns book The Deception Point has shown the use of RoboFlythat charges by the magnetic field of Earth and has varied on fieldapplications. Such nanobots are a reality. Thanks to Bionics. 4. Definition Also known as Biomimicry, Biomimetic, Bio-inspiration, Biognosis, andclose to Bionical Creativity Engineering) , Nature is source of inspiration. Example: The development of dirt and water-repellent paint (coating) from the observation that the surface of the lotus flower plant is practically unsticky for anything (the lotus effect). Velcro is another famous example. 5. Various Fields Biomimetic Chemistry: refers to reactions that, in nature, involvebiological macromolecules (enzymes , nucleic acids,etc.) whose chemistrycan be replicated using much smaller molecules. In the field of Computer Science, the study of artificial neurons, artificialneural networks, and swarm intelligence, evolutionary computation etc. Examples in ENGINEERING include the hulls of boats imitating the thickskin of dolphins; sonar, radar and medical ultrasound imaging imitatingthe echolocation of bats. 6. Cyborg An organism to which exogenous components have been added for thepurpose of adapting to new environments. Also known as "the scientific study of control and communication in theanimal and the machine. More recent meaning of the term bionics refers to merging organism andmachine. This approach results in a hybrid system combining biological andengineering parts, which can also be referred as a cybernetic organism(cyborg). 7. Natural Feedback 8. Artificial Response Provided By TakingInspiration From Nature 9. Electronics & Communication Cybernetics: A study of adaptive nature and feedback. Includes the study of feedback, black boxes and derived concepts suchas comm. and control in living organisms machines and organizations includingself organization. Focuses on how anything (digital, mechanical or biological) processesinformation, reacts to information, and changes or can be changed to betteraccomplish the first two tasks. 10. Nanostructures Nanostructures and physical mechanisms that produce the shining colorof butterfly wings were reproduced in silicon at the University of Southampton. The wing structure of the blue morpho butterfly was studied and the way itreflects light was mimicked to create an RFID tag that can be read through waterand on metal.The DNA structure at left will self-assemble into the structurevisualized by atomic force microscopy at right. 11. UAVs! New aircraft designs with far greater agility can be created. This research in bionics may also be used to create more efficienthelicopters or miniature UAVs. UC Berkeley as well as ESA have finally also been working in a similardirection and created the Robofly (a miniature UAV)and theEntomopter (a UAV which can walk, crawl and fly). 12. For Energy Techno ecosystems or EcoCyborg systems involve the coupling ofnatural ecological processes to technological ones which mimic ecologicalfunctions. Produces self-regulating hybrid system. Research by Howard T. Odum, who perceived the structureand emergy dynamics of ecosystems as being analogous to energy flowbetween components of an electrical circuit. 13. What We Have In Present? Properties of non-human organisms like HD color sensing, listeningproperties, sticky or non sticky properties etc. have been taken intoinnovation with engineering. Examples with respect to electronics and communication include bionichand, artificial eye implant, cochlear implants, artificial limbs, retinalimplants, artificial heart, nanobots etc. Other field examples include gloves, nanotubes constructed like spiderweb, velcro, bio medicines, artificial touch network etc. 14. Bionic Eye Implant 15. How It Works? 16. Artificial Limbs Or Exoskeletons 17. Haptic 18. Our Ideas & Innovations Connecting the human neural network to artificial networks and hencecreating a mind uploading system,where the data of a human mind canbe stored in form of digital mass storages. Using the sixth-sense factors in animals by connecting their neuralnetwork to human network and hence able to predict future clearly. 19. Upcoming fields ASIMO uses sensors and sophisticatedalgorithms to avoid obstacles andnavigate stairs. Artificial intelligence Robotics Computer Vision Control systems Emergence Learning organization New Cybernetics Second-order cybernetics Interactions of Actors Theory Conversation Theory Self-organization in cybernetics 20. Conclusion Co-Creating ourselves from what we are is the only way to a sustainable developmentand a way out for the existence of human race on planet Earth as well as other speciesand organisms. And hence to the theme, creating a worth place for humanity to persist. 21.
