Understanding the Concept of Biomimetics for Geoinformatics Technology and its utilization for Nature-based Solutions

Abstract

This study aims to introduce a wide range of readers to some of animals' exceptional remote sensing and navigation abilities. A comparison of remote sensors employed by animals and those built by humans is presented in this research. Thermal infrared sensors used by snakes, echolocation used by bats and dolphins, and navigation systems used by birds are all part of the research and comparison. Prey countermeasures to prevent capture are also taken into account. Remote sensing and navigation capabilities of certain animals are far superior to those provided by the human body or devised by humans. The use of the biometric method in creating novel sensors may be promoted. The paper contributes to a better understanding of animal behavior, particularly their unique abilities to perceive, echolocate, and travel over long distances with great accuracy. Studying animal sensors within a biomimetic framework can help remote sensor designers improve their designs for the purpose of border management, forest fire control (for example, the photo mechanic infrared receptor for detecting forest fires in the beetle), jamming the signal from the tiger moth which clogs bat sonar, integration of visual and infrared information in bimodal neurons in the rattlesnake optic tectum, and biomimetic sonar that locates and recognizes objects.
