Abstract

Više od 90% opisanih vrsta u carstvu Animalia pripada invertebratima (beskralježnjacima). Dugotrajni evolucijski razvoj doveo je do raznolike morfologije tijela i uporabe biomaterijala kao odgovor na promjene raznih okolišnih uvjete kojima su bili izloženi. Velik broj vrsta i kozmopolitska rasprostranjenost invertebrata potencijalno omogućuje znanstvenicima dobar izvor za daljnje inovacije iz područja bionike i biomimikrije. U ovom radu prikazana su recentna postignuća iz područja biomaterijala, arhitekture i robotike, u kojima su invertebrata poslužili kao modelni organizmi za izradu novih rješenja koristeći njihove prirodno postojeće strukture. Za izradu umjetnih materijala koriste se prirodno postojeće organizacije materijala, njihove nastambe i načini ponašanja za rješenja iz područja arhitekture i robotike. Velika ulaganja u područje biotehnologije i znanosti vezane uz bioniku i biomikriju te globalni pomak prema zelenoj ekonomiji, vrlo vjerojatno će omogućiti još brži i lakši razvoj proizvoda inspiriranih prirodom.

Abstract (english)

More than 90% of species that have been described in the kingdom of Animalia belong to the invertebrates. Long evolutionary development has led to a diverse body morphology and function of biomaterials as result of adaptive response to the environmental conditions. A great number of invertebrate species and their cosmopolitan distribution, offer a great potential for innovative design solutions in the field of bionics and biomimicry. In this paper, an overview is given of recent works in the field of biomaterials, architecture and robotics, in which invertebrates served as model organisms for creating new solutions using their naturally existing structures, inspiration for making artificial materials using naturally existing material organizations, using enclosures in architecture and their behaviors for robotics solutions. Investments in the fields of bionics and biomimicry have been increasing due to the global shift towards green economy, which will probably lead to a faster and easier development of nature inspired products.
