Transferring the principles of living nature into
living machines has preoccupied philosophers and
scientists for more than 2000 years and inspired great
minds like Leonardo Da Vinci to deliver outstanding
inventions. In the last century, the study of nature and
living organisms has led to innovations inspired by
nature in a variety of different fields, such as engineer ing, architecture, materials sciences, medical technol ogy and robotics. The most prominent examples for
commonly used bioinspired developments are Velcro
(fastening inspired by burs hooks) and self-cleaning
paints and coatings based on the principles of lotus
plant leaves
