Technique Pattern:The Role of Nature

Abstract

Leonardo da Vinci made it long before: the artist and the inventor from Toskan observed the nature exactly and transmitted its construction plans, power and phenomenon on the technical development. So he discovered the approximate principle of climbing mechanism, nevertheless the driving machines, helicopter and flying machines. Several centuries later the concept Bionik was coined out of that. The engineers and researchers long ago accomplished the biological transformation and use the wealth of nature for technical solution. An uptodate project of german Academy of Technical Science (Acatech) illustrate with promotion through the Federal Research Ministry (BMBP) the innovation potential biologically inspired materials for the application in chemistry, energy, medicines and robotic as also art and design. Such raw materials can thus impress the german research and technology position in the succeeding years.
