[ WHEN BIOMIMICRY CHANGES THE GAME ...
DATA AND INFORMATION SHARING: THE KEY TO SURVIVAL IN THE LIVING WORLD
Drs. Stéphane ViolletDirector of Research at the CNRS, Institut des Sciences du Mouvement de Marseille, with Antoine WystrachCNRS Research Fellow, Animal Cognition Research Centre in Toulouse (CNRS/Paul Sabatier University). > From insect to robot and vice versa Generally speaking, the so-called bio-inspired approaches allow us to kill three birds with one stone: to improve knowledge, to have ideas that are often counter-intuitive and to invent new technologies that are very often disruptive. The Biorobotic approach is a meeting point where robotics and neuroscience attempt to explain and model the behaviour of insects (flies, bees, bumblebees, wasps and now ants). The aim is to understand the sensory modalities used by these insects, whose daily prowess in moving and finding their way around in natural environments far exceeds that of any flying or land-based robot. Neurophysiology associated with ethology allows us to better model the sensorimotor reflexes at play on board these small animals. Robots are embodiments of bio-inspired principles to validate our knowledge models. This talk will present an example of a bio-inspired robotic achievement, the AntBot robot, combined with studies on their biological models: ants. To go further at the Biomim LAB Show: Stéphane Viollet and Antoine Wystrach will extend their plenary session with a live demo of the AntBot robot with you and in front of your eyes on the Biomim LAB Show space on level S3 (workshop room level). Join them to continue the exchange and the experience.
NATURAL ENERGY - THE BIG CHALLENGE
Vincent ArteroDirector of Research at CEA, Coordinator of the ARCANE Labex (Grenoble Alpes University) > Artificial photosynthesis, a bio-inspired technology to meet the Paris Agreement targets? Drawing on the plant world to produce fuels, commodity chemicals and materials from renewable resources such as solar energy, water and atmospheric carbon dioxide in a fully circular way. The Paris Agreement aims to limit global warming to around 1.5°C by 2100. To achieve this goal, all scenarios indicate that we need to both defossilise our economy and achieve carbon neutrality before 2050 and develop negative emission technologies, i.e. capture atmospheric carbon dioxide, as early as possible before 2065. Artificial photosynthesis, in its broadest sense, is a portfolio of technologies for producing fuels, commodity chemicals and materials from fully renewable resources such as molecules in the biosphere (water, nitrogen, carbon dioxide, oxygen, etc.) and renewable energy sources such as solar power. In this sense, it mimics the natural process of photosynthesis, which enables plants to transform solar energy and atmospheric carbon dioxide into sugars, proteins, lipids and wood. A circular technology par excellence, artificial photosynthesis aims to increase the efficiency of the natural process by a factor of 10 to 100 to meet today's energy needs.. .
SPIDER SILK, THE MOST ASTONISHING MATERIAL ?
Prof. Dr. Thomas Scheibel, full professor for Biomaterials and head of the department at the University of Bayreuth, Germany ; European Inventor Award 2018 > Synthetic Spider Silk is now a reality, it's new, it's historical, and it's a revolution!

SOIL HEALTH - HUMAN HEALTH
Johann FournilMarketing, Communication & Partnerships Director, will present the biocontrol solution developed by M2i Life Sciences to protect crops, forests and gardens. > Pheromone-based mating disruption as a substitute for pesticides. In order to replace the current methods of control via pesticides or other techniques presenting a risk for health and the environment, or for the greenest of them, non-selective or difficult to implement, M2i Life Sciences has relied on a process of sexual confusion by pheromones. During the flight period, the air is saturated with a large quantity of sex pheromone specific to the insect in order to prevent the males from detecting the females and thus to limit mating and, consequently, to prevent proliferation.
BEARS SERVING PEOPLE
Fabrice BertileInstitut pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien (CNRS-University of Strasbourg joint research unit). > Understanding bear hibernation to combat muscle atrophy ... for example, to travel in space? While they hibernate in their dens for 5 to 7 months without eating, drinking or moving, brown bears lose little or no muscle. When they wake up, the fresh carnivores are able to sprint. A performance that is far from being shared by the human species. In sedentary, hospitalized or weightless people, muscle loss is inevitable. But bio-inspiration offers new ways to improve their health, and perhaps one day send humans to Mars. Apart from the conquest of space, in the everyday life of our modern societies, osteoporosis, obesity, heart and kidney failure are taking their toll. Scientists believe that the answer to these diseases, linked to the ageing and sedentary nature of our population, lies in the veins of the bear. They are doctors or biologists, specialists in humans, and in order to develop treatments based on biomimicry, they do not hesitate to go to the lands of large predators, brown bears and black bears. Fabrice Bertile, a researcher at the Institut pluridisciplinaire Hubert Curien, has been studying the phenomenon for the past ten years and will present the latest advances in his research.
[RETURNING THE FAVOUR: DRAWING INSPIRATION FROM THE LIVING TO SERVE THE LIVING FOR A BIOMIMICRY THAT BENEFITS ITS BIODIVERSITY MUSE
Biodiversity is the source of inspiration for biomimicry. It is also a living capital that is collapsing before our eyes, as citizens, researchers and entrepreneurs. How can biomimicry - also - serve biodiversity to protect and regenerate it?

[CLOSING PLENARY
And what if re-inspiring ourselves from the living would help us to become aware of our common destiny as a species? To reconnect with our biotope in harmonious and happy dependence? Will we be able to think and react in collective intelligence? Or will we be the - supposedly superior - species with the shortest life span on planet Earth, the living planet.

#2 [ THE BIOMIM LAB SHOW
In 30-minute segments, researchers and entrepreneurs will give demonstrations and manoeuvres on an open stage set up at the heart of the event.
- 10:00-10:30 am / Presentation and demo of the AntBot robotan autonomous robot inspired by desert ants, capable of finding its way without GPS.
- Drs. Stéphane ViolletDirector of Research, CNRS, Institute of Movement Sciences, Marseille
- and Antoine WystrachCNRS Research Fellow, Animal Cognition Research Centre in Toulouse (CNRS/Paul Sabatier University).
- 10.45 - 11.15 am / Avineck: from birds' necks to robots Anatomy and engineering research meet to understand nature and propose innovative technological solutions.
Description :
The neck moves the head. In birds, it is both flexible and precise, light and powerful, all qualities required in a robot. The coherence of the tensegrity structures is ensured by tensional connections. By studying the necks of birds, the researchers aim to better understand how this principle is applied in nature. Modelling the shape of vertebrae and muscles thus feeds into the development of robots with potential applications in new factories.
Procedure :
We will show the characteristics of the neck in birds and explain the principle of tensegrity. We will show that a tensegrity structure remains stable even when a change is applied that destabilises a pivoted structure. We will present an articulated arm made of tensegrity modules operated by cables that will show the potential of a bird neck inspired structure in robotics.

- 2pm - 2.30pm / Insects will surprise you, and tomorrow change your lives Hemipteran insects (bugs, aphids, mealy bugs, cicadas), most of which have a bad reputation, can open the way to amazing applications in the fields of materials, sensors or surgery.
With the help of images, you will discover how these insects have developed, over more than two hundred million years, a sophisticated device enabling them to seek out food hidden in the organs of another organism, most often the conductive vessels of flowering plants. These stinging organs, veritable biological syringes, have exceptional properties in terms of constituent materials, morphology and mechanical functioning.
