Human-Inspired Inventions

By Virginia Prescott on Wednesday, July 2, 2008.

Some eye-opening inventions could be headed our way soon. New technologies often take their cues from the human brain and the human body. In the same way early aviation tinkerers studied the wings of birds, many of today’s top researchers look in the mirror for inspiration.

Artificial intelligence aims to recreate the ways human think, robots imitate the way we move, and right now, in labs across the world, inventors are looking at our five senses to create new tools and gadgets.

Eric Griffith wrote about some of the most cutting edge of these developments for PC Magazine.
