Bionics - an interdisciplinary science that studies the structure and principles of functioning of

organisms and building technical devices on the model of the organism.

Examples of bionics in engineering include the hulls of boats imitating the thick skin of dolphins, sonar, radar, medical ultrasound imitating the voice of bats. In the field of computer science research in the field of bionics are used in cybernetics, artificial neurons, artificial networks, and miniaturization of silicon components in the natural pattern of neurons.

Bionics is also widely used in medicine. There is an increasing use of devices that mimic the natural functioning of various organs and body parts. The best example is the cochlear implant for the deaf. Thanks to such devices, life is easier for some people. They are more likely to understand the world around them, and healthy people.

Since World War II research into the possibility of joining prostheses with the human body without fear of rejection of

artificial element has been led in many countries. The results of bionics experts’ work are more and more perfect artificial limbs,

allowing for movements in different directions, performing complex tasks almost as efficiently as a real arms or feet.
