The Silent Revolution of Robotics and Bionics Inspired by African Folding of Structures and Clothing
The Silent Revolution of Robotics and Bionics Inspired by African Folding of Structures and Clothing In early traditions, our ancestors created structures imbued with an important wisdom that we must remember: their designs mimicked natural patterns. The curvatures and designs enabled these structures to be incredibly strong. Research into these fields of design, which may seem simple, holds the potential to unlock the future of robust, supportive bionic structures, machinery, and survival structures for interplanetary colonization, ensuring human sustainability and survival. One notable example is the shield design, inspired by animal skin and the natural curves of these shields. These shapes provide remarkable strength. In my research on bionics, I have explored various folding techniques, demonstrating that strong structures rely heavily on the principles of folding. The emphasis on arts and crafts in CBC (Competency-Based Curriculum) learning aligns with this c...
