Abstract

This paper presents the state of art survey and future work to biologically inspired robots. Through decades people have constantly tried to emulate the appearance, portability, usefulness, astute operation, and intellect of fauna. This area of biological robots, having the name of biomimetics, has advanced from making stationary duplicates of human beings and other biological creatures as statues to the rise of robots that work with practical conduct. From the evolution of the first biologically inspired robots back in 1949; the well-known electromechanical tortoises. The history can be drawn back to evolution of the mechanical beverage serving waitress and musical players by Arab researcher and craftsman Al-Jazari in the thirteenth century and the mechanical dolls, for example, the famous Japanese karakuri ningyo in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Similarly, the most well known example is the enormous effort made in the early twentieth century to advancement of flying machines. The field of biologically inspired robots and their technologies emerged vastly throughout the years. Yet, the term biologically inspired and the present idea of biologically inspired robots began in the last few years of the twentieth century. Technological development gave rise to fields such as man-made muscles, AI, artificial vision and in addition biomimetic capacities in mechanics, materials science, computing science, information technology, electronics and numerous others.
