Biomimetic Manufacturing and Healthcare: Sustainable Pattern, Algorithm, and Assembly

Abstract

Nature, a master of efficiency and sustainability, has honed her designs through billions of years of evolution. Biomimetic manufacturing and healthcare, inspired by these elegant solutions, offer a promising path towards a more efficient and sustainable future. This paper explores the application of nature's patterns, algorithms, and assembly strategies in both manufacturing and healthcare, highlighting their potential to revolutionize these fields. This review focuses on the new applications of nature inspired innovations in manufacturing and healthcare. For the Manufacturing Industries, we focus on (1) Pattern, (2) Self Healing, (3) Additive Manufacturing, as well as (4) Energy and Environment. Our focuses of Biomimetics’ healthcare applications are (1) Membrane (2) Peptide Assembly, (3) Synthesis, and (4) Surfaces and Adhesion. Related topics in biomimetics-based computing and other applications will be discussed in an effort to provide a more complete perspective of biomimetics across the spectrum of different areas that are key to our life and society.
