Definition of a trend
A trend in robotics that involves the design and creation of robots whose form and functions are inspired by the appearance/natural features of animals. These robots are usually designed to mimic the movements, appearance or biological functions of specific animal species (dogs, cats, birds, insects, etc.). This trend is driven by the desire to improve the efficiency and functionality of robots. These robots are often used in tasks that require the ability to navigate difficult terrain, as well as for safety monitoring tasks or interaction with humans.
Trend Momentum Index TM
Reasons for the trend
- the development of biomimetic technologies that draw inspiration from nature to create innovative solutions,
- the continuous improvement in mobility and efficiency of robots inspired by animal movements, making them able to navigate difficult terrain where traditional wheels and tracks are insufficient,
- The development of interdisciplinary projects at the interface of biology, engineering, computer science, robotics stimulates innovation.

Consequences of the trend
- an increase in human productivity and the possibility of exploring hard-to-reach places such as oceans, caves and space through the involvement of zoomorphic robots,
- a shift towards a hybrid society with a growing acceptance of robots that mimic animals and can therefore be seen as more friendly and less invasive,
- giving rights to zoomorphic robots and regulating their status (as in the case of human or animal rights).
