The notion of biomimetic machines formulates one paradigm of the latest biologically inspired research, which designates some examples such as biomimetic robots mimicking the configuration and locomotion of biology, intelligent interface mimicking a communication system through human natural voices and gestures, etc. Moreover, the notion is not necessarily equivalent to the bionics as a fusion of biology and electronics, or the biomechanics that fuses biology and mechanics; rather it includes behavior-based robotics in the sense of focusing on the mimesis of intelligent behaviors for biology In this paper, biomimetic perception, biomimetic control, and biomimetic robot, which are subthemes in the biomimetic machines, are explained, mainly referring to the latest results in our laboratory.
