Foreword
The field of biomimetics attempts to use nature as a resource to transition anatomical and physiological features from biological organisms into engineered systems. The expectation is that the lessons learned from biology can improve the performance of engineered systems. Evolution has been responsible for a system of natural experimentation in which organisms performed the cost-benefit analysis through the Darwinian mechanism of natural selection. The multitude of species, both extant and extinct, had to evolve adaptations as solutions to problems related to survival in their biological and physical environments. Many of these problems are the same that humans attempt to solve through their own technologies. Thus, biomimetics provides a new way of thinking and inspiration so that living
