Also known as bio-inspiration, biognosis, bionical creativity engineering

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.

AI overview

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.
