This document discusses biomimicry, which is a method of creating innovations by emulating nature. It provides examples of how researchers studied gecko feet to develop wall-climbing materials, and how sonar and radar technologies were developed by studying echolocation in bats and dolphins. The document also summarizes how engineers redesigned a train nose based on the kingfisher bird's beak to reduce tunnel noise, and how Speedo designers created a swimsuit fabric inspired by shark skin to reduce drag on swimmers.
