Bionics or biologically inspired engineering is the application of biological methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology.
Bionics is the practice of studying how living things work in nature and using those biological methods and systems to design new engineering solutions and technology. It matters because nature has already solved many problems through millions of years of evolution, so mimicking these natural designs can lead to better and more effective human-made innovations.

The word bionic, coined by Jack E. Steele in August 1958, is a portmanteau from biology and electronics which was popularized by the 1970s U.S. television series The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman, both based on the novel Cyborg by Martin Caidin. All three stories feature humans given various superhuman powers by their electromechanical implants.
