3. The Eiffel Tower weighs less than the air around it. It achieves this by exploiting the same structural ideas that make your bones so strong yet so light

4. Stuttgart Airport Stuttgart Airport with multiple tree like columns in the interior to support the slanted roof structure

5. Material That Mimics Structure Of Bone Scientists at KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology) in Germany have created a lightweight but very strong material inspired by the intricate microscopic architecture of bones. The research could pave the way for future super- light materials that could be used in microfluidics devices or to make lighter (and thus cheaper) spacecraft.

6. Survivor- Locating Spider The ability to squeeze through tight spaces and turn on a dime makes the spider an ideal model for lifesaving robots that could make their way through rubble after a disaster to locate survivors. Researchers at Germany’s Frauenhofer Institute say this robot can be cheaply reproduced using 3D printers.

7. Survivor- Locating Spider After natural catastrophes and industrial or reactor accidents, or in fire department sorties, it can help responders, for instance by broadcasting live images or tracking down hazards or leaking gas.

9. Nature based algorithms- swarm intelligence of glow worm Nature- inspired algorithms are among the most powerful algorithms for optimization High- quality clustering techniques are required for the effective analysis of the growing data. Clustering is a common data mining technique used to analyze homogeneous data instance groups based on their specifications.

11. Biomimetic architecture- Termite Mound Thermoregulation through shape

12. Tiny holes cover the entire mound. These holes help the gases pass through freely

13. Termite mounds • • Termite mounds are huge structures – many growing to a height of 4 or 5 metres – which host colonies of millions of termites. Especially in hot climates, where air and ground temperatures are around 40ºC, an engineering (or termite ) solution is required to vent the inside heat.

14. In order to achieve this, termites insulate the walls of the mound – which receive most of the sun’s rays – from the inner chambers. Moreover, these are built vertically over a large hall- like area under the ground. The cold air in this chamber is sucked up by the hot air streams which tend to rise through convection.

15. Biomimetic architecture- Termite Mound exceptional of An example a biomimetic building is the Eastgate Centre in Zimbabwe. This is a shopping centre which use a heat venting system similar to that used in termite mounds .

19. A butterfly’s wings are one of nature’s most remarkable materials. These tiny but complex structures reflect light in such a way that specific wavelengths interfere with each other to create intensely vivid colors one could only find in nature.

20. By carefully studying this process, engineers at Qualcomm have been able to mimic this effect, allowing them to develop a system that produces colored electronic screens that are extremely efficient and can be viewed under any light conditions.

21. Bioinspired photonic crystals Donna Sgro, an Australian fashion designer has created three dresses from a fabric called Morphotex, a pigment- free and dye- free textile developed by Tejin Fibres Limited in Japan. This iridescent blue material draws its colour from optical interference based on the way fibres of different thickness and structure are inter- woven .

23. ORGANISM LEVEL : • The organism level refers to Biomimicing a specific organism like a plant or animal and /or the whole organism's form, material, function and process. The Minister of Municipal Affairs & Agriculture (MMAA) in Qatar, is an Architectural Biomimicry example of the cactus that successfully survive in hot, dry environments, taking inspiration from the way these plants deal with the desert climate.

24. The clever way that bees maximise space and create strong structures in their bee hives to house their young led to the packaging Hexbug use for their toys. The toys are safely stored, and the packaging minimises waste space when transporting lots of toys to the shops. Inventions Inspired by Nature Honey Bee comb

26. Ultrasonic range finding Robot systems use ultrasonic range finding sensors to allow them to drive around on their own (no human control) and avoid objects around them without seeing them Bats have a fantastic ability to fly at night, without any light to help them see. They do this by using echo location. This ability allows a bat to fly around sending out short bursts of sound from its mouth. When they hit an object they bounce back and the bat hears this sound. It can then work out if it is near an object, and then adjust its flight to avoid it. Echo location of Bats
