Many animals are uniquely adapted to survive and thrive in different environments around the world—and robot designers have taken notice. Biomimetics—the science of engineering robots, materials, and systems inspired by natural design—has created a mechanical menagerie of animal-inspired robots that climb, fly, swim, and slither. Here are a few highlights.
