A lot of the technologies we use are highly inspired by nature. Some recent ones are like the new eagle plane shown on business insider, that copies the look of an eagle's wings and tails, making the plane more efficient. There are other ones like Velcro which was inspired by plants sticking to clothing. Some of the more interesting ones are swarm behavior, like using drones to act as birds or using micro sized robots to help each other in completing a task. Bio mimicry is a simple, but genius concept. Nature has been evolving for so long that they already perfected most of their behaviors. Copying their designs just means we're skipping all the time it took to evolve and going straight to the perfected product.
