Abstract
Biomimicry or biomimetics is studying the nature and its creatures and natural phenomenon in nature,
analysing and understanding their working principles and system, getting the new concepts, ideas and
inspiration from them to invent new techniques, machines or products in science, engineering or medicine. The
new techniques, machine and products developed using biomimicry are simple, reliable, nature friendly and
sustainable. Developing the products based on biomimicry is not only cost effective, but it can significantly
reduce the labour and efforts involved in product development. The continuously ever-increasing number of
innovations and new patents based on biomimicry underlines its great importance.
