Bionics is the study of the structure and function of biological systems and other systems in nature, to optimize and improve the design of artificial systems by imitating the specific characteristics or mechanisms of living things. In UAV technology, the application of bionics principle is mainly reflected in imitating the flight mechanism of birds or other flying organisms to improve the flight performance and environmental adaptability of UAV.
