Autonomous vehicles controlled by software based on swarming ants, and blood pressure drugs informed by snake venom, are just two examples presented by Juan Carlos Castilla-Rubio, Chairman of Space Time Ventures in Brazil, of how nature in the Amazon has inspired technology. Netherlands-based artist and innovator Daan Roosegaarde then discusses how nature has inspired his work on clean air, clean water and clean energy, ranging from bicycles which clean up smog to light installations using bioluminescent algae.

What can nature teach us about building better futures?
In this episode of Possible Futures, Gary sits down with Robert Suarez — Fellow for Innovation at Singularity University, longtime IDEO design leader, and expert in biomimicry — to explore how natural systems can inspire breakthrough innovation. Robert shares stories from his journey in industrial design, his rediscovery of nature as a design partner, and the powerful lessons of biomimicry vs biomimetics. We cover: - The childhood experiences that shaped Robert’s curiosity - How biomimicry helps us design regenerative, circular systems - Why organizational design is at the heart of innovation - Humane technology, AI as a creative tool, and the risks of outsourcing innovation - His vision for the possible futures of design, work, and human creativity Subscribe: http://bit.ly/1Wq6gwm Connect with Singularity University: Website: http://su.org Podcast: https://www.su.org/podcasts Blog: https://su.org/blog/ News: http://singularityhub.com Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/singularityu Twitter: https://twitter.com/singularityu Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/singularity-university About Singularity University: Singularity is the leader in educating, inspiring, and empowering leaders to imagine and create breakthroughs powered by exponential technologies.

“ Osteodentin found in the core of this bottom-dwelling Atlantic Ocean predator’s teeth could inspire new designs for stronger, more resilient materials There are a few natural examples of auxeticity, including the achilles tendon, cat skin and zeolites. And, more than a decade ago, researchers in France developed a material whose volume increased whether it was stretched or squeezed. Its structure comprised a single wire twisted into a helix that was entangled into a disordered ball and then compressed into a cylinder. US researchers also designed a protein crystal sheet that thickened when stretched and shrunk when compressed in 2016. ”
