Biomimetics transfers knowledge about biological models into technical applications and can thus be used for the development of technical products and innovations.It is one of the most exciting approaches for future technical and social innovation, since most of the knowledge from biology has not yet been used. In this essential, Kristina Wanieck summarizes the most important basics of Biomimetics for their application in practice. In addition, the author describes an approach that is open to topics and problems - i.e. independent of a specific question. These basics should make it possible to use Biomimetics for a wide variety of questions and projects. This springer essential is a translation of the original German 1st edition essentials, Bionik für technische Produkte und Innovation by Kristina Wanieck, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2019. The translationwas done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors. The content

• Basics of Biomimetics
• Bionics approach step by step with examples

• Sustainability and the future of BiomimeticsThe target groups

• Students of the natural and engineering sciences as well as the areas of technical design, product development, innovation management

• Engineers and developers from practiceThe authorKristina Wanieck is a research assistant and project manager in the bionics work group at the THD - Deggendorf University of Technology in Freyung.
