Future tech: from personal robots to motorized monocycles
Piddock, Charles.   J 600 PID
About this book     Check availability
Do you know what is so amazing about biomimetics and nanotechnology? Biomimetics is scientific research where technology copies nature and uses this newly gained knowledge to help the future; bionic hands are not just something found in sci-fi programs and movies; real people are using them right now! And the hope is that someday the brain-computer interface being worked on now will help paralyzed people control all prosthetic body parts. Other ways of looking at and applying biomimetics can be found in car designs; a blowfish was used to design a Mercedes-Benz! If you check this book out you will get a jump-start on discovering the future. BK
