Detailed Description

Mankind has always used nature as inspiration while creating things. More often than not, solutions derived from nature have proven to be far more efficient and effective than our so-called clever ideas. Through this project, Prof. Nishant Sharma prompted me to look into nature and tackle the problem of camouflage. Cuttlefish are famous for their ability to blend almost perfectly with whatever environment they are in. By using their superior camouflage mechanism as inspiration, the aim was to design a new system that could actively adapt to the surrounding environment. Biomimicry is an approach to innovation that seeks sustainable solutions to human challenges by emulating nature’s time-tested patterns and strategies.
