Biomimetics 1st Edition

Biomimetics, 1st Edition by Akihiro Miyauchi is a fresh, authoritative guide to nature-inspired engineering that bridges biology and design for practical innovation. Ideal for students, researchers, and industry professionals, this edition unpacks how biological principles translate into breakthrough materials, sensors, and robotic systems.

Begin with accessible explanations of core biomimetic concepts, then move into applied strategies and real-world case studies that illustrate design thinking inspired by plants, animals, and natural processes. The book emphasizes interdisciplinary methods—materials science, mechanics, and systems engineering—providing readers with clear frameworks for ideation, prototyping, and evaluation. Practical examples explore adhesion, self-healing surfaces, energy-efficient structures, and bioinspired sensing, helping you see immediate applications across robotics, architecture, medical devices, and sustainable manufacturing.

Written with clarity and technical rigor, the text balances theoretical depth with hands-on relevance, supported by diagrams and comparative analyses that make complex ideas usable. Whether you’re developing the next generation of soft robots, optimizing lightweight structures, or researching adaptive materials, this first edition supplies the concepts and tools to move from observation to innovation.
