From Human Factors to Bionics
Bio-Design
Definition
Ergonomics / Human Factors an applied science concerned with the characteristics of
people that need to be considered in designing things that they use in order that people and things will interact most effectively and safely, called also human engineering, human factors engineering
Bionics The science of biological functions and mechanisms as a
nalogous to electronics, using knowledge of human and other animal systems to devise improvements in various machines, especially computers.
Human Factors
Ergonomics / Human Factors
Human-factor is more than ergonomicsPhysical human-factor (ergonomics) make
products safer, more comfortableCognitive human-factors – make products
easier to use, make less mistakesPsychological human-factors – make the
use less awkward, more enjoyableExtensive observation and experiment is
needed, costly but valuable

Bionics
Bionics
Bionics is the application of methods and systems found in nature to the study and design of engineering systems and modern technology
It is a creativity technique that tries to use biological prototypes to get ideas for engineering solutions. This approach is motivated by the fact that biological organisms and their organs have been well optimized by evolution
Examples of bionics in engineering include the hulls of boats imitating the thick skin of dolphins; sonar, radar, and medical ultrasound imaging imitating the echolocation of bats; and the arch imitating the spinal column

A design may be called organic when there is an harmonious connection of the parts within the whole,
according to structure, material and purpose. Within this definition, there can be no vain ornamentation or
superfluity, but the part of beauty is none the less great
