- - - - :red_flag:Advanced Robotic Arm: This design was created by German engineering firm Festo with the inspiration of the way in which an elephant trunk works. The advanced robotic arm is a new biomechatronic handling system which thanks to biomimetics is nowadays used to transport heavy loads, expanding and contracting by inflating or deflating air sacs within each “vertebrae”, inspired by the way in which the elephant trunk works.
  - - - :red_flag:Sealant for vascular surgery: The French company Gecko Medical created a bio-inspired product which is basically a sealant for vascular surgery based on the glue-like secretions of the Californian sandcastle worm. Surgical glues commonly present issues and they don't stay in place as the body is always in motion. In order to solve this, Gecko Medical copied an adhesive secretion that has been perfected for millions of years to dry fast and work even in wet environments without any issue which as a result created the perfect design for surgical glue.
  - - - :red_flag:The 6m tall termite's nest in African grasslands: This biomimetic architecture is made of natural elements such as soil, tree bark, sand and termite saliva. Nevertheless, these nests are actually firmer than concrete. Moreover, the nests of termites maintain a temperature of 30 degrees celsius since they are sensible to heat. Thus, Mike Pearce noted these characteristics and constructed the first all-natural cooling structure in Zimbabwe. In the roof and lower flowers of the building there are holes that allow natural ventilation which are similar to termite's nests.
  - - - :red_flag:Japanese bullet trains: The Shinkansen Bullet train in Japan is known for having a powerful nose , which was actually inspired by the form of a Kingfisher's beak. Engineer Nakatsu's purpose of imitating the aerodynamic shape of the bird's beak was to make the train that connects Japan's biggest cities faster and quieter successfully.
