Biomimetics — creating machines or materials by copying nature — is responsible for everything from non-skid shoes (based on dogs’ padded paws) to the Eiffel Tower (based on the human thighbone). This book combines in-depth information on the use of robots today, showing how bats inspire designers to create robots and letting young enthusiasts build their own flying dinosaur, complete with light-up eyes and flapping wings. Included are 32 pages of scientific discoveries, with full-color illustrations.
