Biomechanics and Bio-Inspired Design

Biomechanics is the study of how living organisms move and how their bodies are structured to produce these movements. It combines biology and mechanics to understand functions like walking, running, or grasping. Bio-inspired design involves creating new technologies or products by mimicking nature’s efficient solutions, such as bird wings inspiring aircraft design or shark skin influencing improved swimming suits. Both fields use nature’s solutions to solve human engineering challenges, leading to innovative, effective, and often more sustainable designs based on understanding biological structures and functions.
