Abstract:
In the first definitions of Bionics, it was stipulated its main goal: the transfer of solutions experimented by the living matter to the techniques in order to realize cheaper, efficient and ecological technologies and devices. In the meantime, the area of Bionics applications was successfully extended to other activity fields: agriculture, sports, entertainment and, especially, medicine. This work presents some outstanding examples of surprising biological solutions adopted by the living beings and their transfer to medicine, in order to help the diseased people to be cured or to be endowed with performant prostheses offering them a quasi-normal life.
