Biomimetic Micro-Ecosystem

Directed by Jeong-Der Ho, the biomimetic micro-ecosystem project at Yuan Ze University in Taiwan explores artificial life through biomimetics, applying this growing field of study to todays urgent environmental issues. Through experiments using the arduino microcontroller system, the project seeks to redefine the relationship between nature and man-made creations in order to achieve dynamic equilibrium. Drawing comparisons between natural and artificial processes, the book compares a history of technological revolution with the latest evolutionary sciences, showing in detailed steps and diagrams how biological observation can lead to the crafting of biomimetic prototypes.
