Abstract In an effort to produce new and more sustainable technologies, designers have turned nature in search of inspiration innovation. Biomimetic design (from the Greek bios , life, mimesis imitation) is conscious imitation biological models solve today's technical ecological challenges. Nowadays numerous different approaches exist that take from as a model for design, such biomimicry, biomi...

As populations increase and economic affluence expand, conventional farmers will be unable to meet the demand for food. Two main scenarios offer different solutions. The first scenario aims further intensify scientific- technology-driven agriculture research. second radically switch nature-based solutions in agricultural systems. There seem two interpretations of scenario: on one hand, interpre...

Mimesis is the primitive skill of imitative learning, one of the methods for recognition of others' behavior and construction of self behavior. Mimesis is thought an origin of human intelligence because this function is observed not only at humans but also at animals. When the mimesis is adopted as learning method for humanoids, convenience for designing full body behavior increase because bott...

The paper presents and defends the mimetic hypothesis concerning the origin of selfconsciousness in three different kinds of development: hominid evolution, the mind of the child, and the epigenesis of mind within an artificial autonomous system, a robot. The proposed crucial factor for the emergence of self-consciousness is the ability to map between one’s own subjective bodyimage and those of...

In this work, we aim to investigate the endogenization of topology parameters in metamimetic games and construct a framework that can be easily adapted for the simulation of this kind of games following any kind of topology. Metamimetic games are games where the agents follow dynamics of mimesis or imitation for their behaviour and rules. Moreover, their own rules for imitation can be imitated ...
