Professor Lecture "Wise Ways for Humans to Live Learned from the Ecology of Living Things"

Biomimetics refers to focusing on many organisms living in nature, gaining hints from their appearance, functions, structures, and even lifestyles, imitating them (biological and ecological mimicry), and applying this to technological development and manufacturing in human society. Incorporating such characteristics and wisdom of living organisms has brought many benefits to human society. In this course, let's learn about how it is useful to society and study actual examples.
