BioInspired! So What? Now What!

On June 27/205, The Royal Society presented a workshop on Bioinspiration of New Technologies: "Biological structures and processes have benefited from billions of years of refinement during the process of the evolution of life on earth. So why should we not benefit from what nature discovered in designing our own new technologies? This meeting brings together scientists from a range of disciplines to discuss how nature has inspired their work and how this can contribute to the technological evolution."

A draft meeting programme and a special issue of Interface Focus was published before the workshop.  Some of the presentations differed from the original agenda.  Below are the video clips
