Biology can inform technology at all levels (materials, structures, mechanisms, machines, and control) but there is still a gap between biology and technology. This review itemizes examples of biomimetic products and concludes that the Russian system for inventive problem solving (teoriya resheniya izobreatatelskikh zadatch (TRIZ)) is the best system to underpin the technology transfer. Biomimetics also challenges the current paradigm of technology and suggests more sustainable ways to manipulate the world.
生物学可以在各个层面（材料、结构、机制、机器和控制）为技术提供信息，但生物学与技术之间仍然存在差距。这篇综述列举了仿生产品的例子，并得出结论，俄罗斯的发明问题解决理论（TRIZ）是支持技术转移的最佳体系。仿生学也对当前的技术范式提出了挑战，并提出了更可持续地改造世界的方法。
