About Shan's Bioinformatics in Research of Biomimicry of Robot-Engineering Systems

Background

While protecting robotic systems from predators or making it easier for ants to hunt as energy is difficult to prioritize at the moment, some robotic design bureaus like Boston Robotics and Robugtix have been researching and developing bio mimicry for a long time. “Bio mimicry is a field of engineering in which ideas for creating devices, devices, mechanisms or technologies are borrowed from wildlife”(Chaikina Zh.V., 2019). Unlike mimicry in nature, which is directly related to the survival of specific biological species, the main goal of industrial bio mimicry is to maximize the useful properties of an object for humans through imitation of specifically selected properties of various biological species. Vivid examples of bio mimicry are flying vehicles (airplanes, helicopters) imitating the flight of dragonflies and birds, submarines imitating fish, as well as noses used in high-speed trains imitating bird beaks. Of course, speaking of bio similarity and bio mimicry in the field of robotics, we are also talking about the qualitative improvement of robotic systems through borrowing solutions from wildlife. In the case of robotic systems, we are primarily interested in the structure of specific systems, the scheme of their movement and their appearance. To fully consider the issue of bio mimicry in robotic systems, it is necessary to have a full-fledged classification of this phenomenon, similar to the classification of biological species mimicry into apathetic, sematic and epigamic (Figure 1).
