About the Book

A review of the current state of the art of biomimetics, this book documents key biological solutions that provide a model for innovations in engineering and science. Leading experts explore a wide range of topics, including artificial senses and organs; mimicry at the cell-materials interface; modeling of plant cell wall architecture; biomimetic composites; artificial muscles; biomimetic optics; and the mimicking of birds, insects, and marine biology. The book also discusses applications of biomimetics in manufacturing, products, medicine, and robotics; biologically inspired design as a tool for interdisciplinary education; and the biomimetic process in artistic creation.

Table of Contents:
Introduction: Nature as a Source for Inspiration of Innovation. Artificial Senses and Organs-Natural Mechanisms and Biomimetic Devices. Biomimicry at the Cell-Material Interface. Multiscale Modeling of Plant Cell Wall Architecture and Tissue Mechanics for Biomimetic Applications. Biomimetic Composites. Electroactive Polymer Actuators as Artificial Muscles. Refreshable Braille Displays Actuated by Electroactive Polymers. Biological Optics. Biomimicry of the Ultimate Optical Device-The Plant. Biologically Inspired Design: A Tool for Interdisciplinary Education. Self-reproducing Machines and Manufacturing Processes. Biomimetic Products. Biomimetics for Medical Implants. Application of Biomimetics in the Design of Medical Devices. Affective Robotics: Human Motion and Behavioural Inspiration for Safe Cooperation between Humans and Humanoid Assistive Robots. Humanlike Robots-Capabilities, Potentials, and Challenges. Biomimetic Swimmer Inspired by the Manta Ray. Biomimetics and Flying Technology. The Biomimetic Process in Artistic Creation. Biomimetics-Reality, Challenges, and Outlook. Index.

About the Author :

Dr. Yoseph Bar-Cohen is the Supervisor of the Electroactive Technologies Group at JPL, as well as a Senior Scientist there. He has (co) edited 10 books, co-authored over 390 publications, co-chaired 50 conferences, and has 36 registered patents. His books and other publications cover such topics as humanlike robots, biomimetics, nondestructive evaluation using ultrasonics and robotics and materials, etc. Business Week named him in 2003 as one of the five technology gurus who are "Pushing Tech's Boundaries." He is a NASA Fellow and Honors Award Winner, has two SPIE Lifetime Achievement Awards, and is the recipient of JPL's prestigious Magellan Award and many other honors and awards.



Review :

"… a convenient source of examples and literature references for engineering students interested in how natural patterns can be exploited in mechanical and materials engineering. … will be of most interest to roboticists, who can profitably exploit many of the mechanisms it describes."Computing Reviews, June 2012
