Nature inspired contraptions / by Koontz, Robin,author.; Sipperley, Keli,editor.(CARDINAL)610568;

Bio-fastening systems -- Animal-inspired materials -- Eye-inspired products -- Helping aids.Did you know that nature is the world's largest science and engineering lab? Learn how designers and engineers use biomimicry to create or improve products. Animimics are the designers and engineers who are inspired by the genius of nature. Using a science called biomimicry, they rely on nature's 3.8 billion years of experience to research and create new or improved designs, materials, and systems. From road reflectors to water collectors, nature has inspired all kinds of useful contraptions to help solve problems in our human societies and try to improve the world.

Fur & claws / by Miller, Tessa,author.(CARDINAL)793675;

"One fall day, a Swiss engineer was hiking with his dog. Soon the dog was covered in cockleburs, which held fast to its fur. After years of study and experimentation, the engineer invented Velcro, with hooks and loops just like the cockleburs. What woud life be like without Velcro? In Animal Tech: Fur & Claws, readers will learn about six life-changing technoogies that have been inspired by mammals. They will follow the stories of the scientists and engineers who have harnessed mammals' abilites, developing them into powerful technologies that have shaped our world."--Back cover.770LAges 10-15.Accelerated Reader ARAccelerated Reader AR

Creepy & crawly / by Miller, Tessa,author.(CARDINAL)793675;

Introduction -- Spiny-headed worms & skin grafts -- Termite mounds & buildings -- Spider webs & bulletproof vests -- Geckos & adhesive -- Snakes & robots -- Ants & antivirus software."Floating through space, a robot crawls along a space station. The skin covering the robot's parts lets it stick to the metal like a gecko sticks to a tree. This is not science fiction - it is science fact, the product of a long process of observation, study, and mimicry of the animal world. In Animal Tech: Creepy and Crawley, readers will learn the story of Geckskin and five other technologies inspired by reptiles and insects. Students will follow the stories of remarkable people working in STEM fields who have developed these life-changing technologies." -- back cover.690LAccelerated Reader AR

Wings & beaks / by Miller, Tessa,author.(CARDINAL)793675;

Throughout time, people have looked to the skies and dreamed of flying. In 1903, the Wright brothers finally achieved flight, but only after years of studying birds. In Animal Tech : Wings and Beaks, readers will follow the stories of the scientists and engineers who have observed, studied, and micmicked the abilities of flying creatures, from bees and dragonflies to bats and birds. Students will be inspired to explore STEM fields after learning how the study of the skies has led to fascinating and life-changing technology that has shaped our world.750LAccelerated Reader AR

This new edition has been updated and expanded to include the latest developments in artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT and other chatbots, machine learning, and open-source AI. The text also discusses the role AI and robotics play in popular culture and modern society, recent calls to regulate the artificial intelligence industry and how the industry is expected to evolve in the future. More than 120 easy-to-understand entries, many with illustrations and photographs, cover: Augmented Reality; Machine Learning; Knowledge Acquisition; Pattern Recognition; Self-Management; Virtual Reality. These entries cover many important aspects of AI and robotics, including basic principles of robotic motion and engineering, neural engineering and human-computer interaction, programming languages and operating systems, and the mathematics that govern computation. The role of robotics and AI in war, fraud, and terrorism is also examined, as well as how these fields are portrayed in popular culture, which ultimately reflects how we perceive the line between human and machine. Entries begin by specifying related Fields of Study, followed by an Abstract and then a list of Key Concepts summarizing important points; all entries end with a helpful Further Reading section." -From publisher.
