Bio-inspired robotics

Bio-inspired robotic locomotion is a subcategory of bio-inspired design. It is about learning concepts from nature and applying them to the design of real-world engineered systems. More specifically, this field is about making robots that are inspired by biological systems, including Biomimicry.

Biomimicry is copying from nature while bio-inspired design is learning from nature and making a mechanism that is simpler and more effective than the system observed in nature.
Biomimicry has led to the development of a different branch of robotics called soft robotics.
The biological systems have been optimized for specific tasks according to their habitat.
