We also study animals at the extremes of performance, creatures that are exceptionally good at one particular thing.

It would create a level playing field with better service and better rates across the board. That’s advantageous to consumers and the business climate.

It doesn’t look like any real animal, but all of the principles are there.

Everyone can advance their own field, but through synergy, the research accelerates and collectively we can create something that no single group could ever do.

Evolution works on the just-good-enough principle. So we want to learn how to mesh advantageous principles from biological systems with the best human engineering to actually build things that are better than nature.
