Bionic Manufacturing: Towards Cyborg Cells and Sentient Microbots

Bio-inspired engineering applies biological design principles towards developing engineering solutions but is not practical as a manufacturing paradigm. We advocate ‘bionic manufacturing’, a synergistic fusion of biotic and abiotic components, to transition away from bio-inspiration toward bio-augme...

Summary:Bio-inspired engineering applies biological design principles towards developing engineering solutions but is not practical as a manufacturing paradigm. We advocate ‘bionic manufacturing’, a synergistic fusion of biotic and abiotic components, to transition away from bio-inspiration toward bio-augmentation to address current limitations in bio-inspired manufacturing.
