What are some examples of bionics?

1, by the annoying fly, imitation success of a very strange small gas analyzer. Has been installed in the cockpit of the spacecraft, used to detect the composition of the gas inside the cabin.

2, a radio positioning and ranging device: scientists have found that bats do not rely on the eyes, but on the mouth, throat and ears composed of echolocation system. Because bats emit ultrasonic waves in flight, and can detect the ultrasonic waves reflected back from obstacles. Scientists accordingly designed a modern radar - a radio positioning and ranging device .

3, colorful butterflies colorful, such as heavy moon crested butterflies, brown veins of gold butterflies, etc., especially fluorescent winged crested butterflies, and then Yi in the sunshine and sometimes golden, and sometimes green, and sometimes also by the purple to blue. Scientists through the study of butterfly color, for military defense has brought great benefits. In the proposed use of butterfly colors in the flowers is not easy to be found in the reasoning, in the military facilities covered with butterfly pattern like camouflage. Therefore, according to the same principle, later people also produced camouflage clothing.

4. The bionicist Rock invented the electronic frog's eye according to the principle and structure of the frog's eye. In modern war, the enemy may launch missiles to attack our target, then we can launch anti-missile intercept each other's missiles, but the enemy in order to confuse us, and may launch signals to disrupt our line of sight. On the battlefield, the enemy's aircraft, tanks, ships launching real and fake missiles are in rapid motion, to overcome the enemy, must be timely to distinguish between real and fake missiles. The electronic frog's eye and radar matching, can be like a frog's eye, look at the activity of things very keen, to the stationary things but blind, keen and rapid tracking of the real target in flight.

5, people simulate the sting feel infrasound organ, design success of the precise "jellyfish ear" instrument. It consists of a horn, accept infrasound **** vibrator and this vibration into electrical impulses of the converter and indicator. The instrument is mounted on the foredeck of the ship and the horn rotates 360°. When it receives 8 Hz-13 Hz infrasound, the rotation automatically stops, and the direction indicated by the horn is the direction of the coming storm. The indicator can also tell people the intensity of the storm. This instrument, which can forecast storms about 15 hours in advance.?

6, people according to the frog's eye vision principle, has developed a kind of electronic frog's eye. This electronic frog's eye can be like a real frog's eye, accurately recognize the specific shape of the object. The electronic frog's eye into the radar system, the radar anti-interference ability greatly improved. This kind of radar system can quickly and accurately recognize the specific shape of the aircraft, ships and missiles. In particular, it can distinguish between real and fake missiles and prevent them from being mistaken for real ones; electronic frog eyes are also widely used in airports and major transportation routes. In the airport, it can monitor the takeoff and landing of the aircraft, if found that the aircraft is about to collide, it can issue a timely warning. In the traffic road, it can direct the vehicle traveling, prevent vehicle collision accidents.

Expanded Information:

Bionics is an old and young discipline.

People study the principles of structure and functional work of living organisms and invent new equipment, tools and technologies based on these principles to create advanced technologies suitable for production, learning and living.

The term bionics was coined in 1960 by Steele in the United States based on the Latin word "bios (meaning way of life)" and the end of the word "nlc ('having the ...... nature')". The term has only been in use since about 1961. Bionics is the discipline of engineering the realization and effective application of biological functions that are by far superior to any man-made machine. For example, with regard to information reception (sensory functions), information transmission (neural functions), automatic control systems, etc., the structure and function of such organisms have been a great source of inspiration in the design of machinery. Examples of bionics can be cited, such as the application of the body shape of a dolphin or the structure of its skin (which keeps the surface of the body free of turbulence when swimming) to the principles of submarine design.

Another example is the fly, which is a transmitter of bacteria and is generally categorized as a pest, but the fly's oar-wings are natural navigators. Moreover, its eye is a kind of "compound eye", consisting of more than 3,000 small eyes, people imitate it to make the "fly eye lens". The "fly-eye lens" is a new type of optical element that has many uses. "Fly-eye lens" is hundreds or thousands of small lenses neatly arranged combination of hundreds or thousands of small lenses, with which the lens can be made into a "fly-eye camera", once you can take hundreds of the same photo. This camera has been used for printing plates and a large number of copies of the tiny circuits of electronic computers, greatly improving the efficiency and quality.

Bionics is also recognized as a discipline closely related to cybernetics, which is primarily a study and explanation of living phenomena in comparison with mechanical principles.
