现代鱼类代表了超过4亿年的进化过程，在许多情况下，导致了对具有特定性能优势的表型的选择。虽然这当然是在没有优化轨迹的情况下发生的，但不可否认的是，某些形态使生物体在逃避捕食、获取食物以及最终传递基因等任务上比其他生物体更有效。通过这种方式，进化产生了一系列迭代原型，这些原型在完成目标方面具有不同但可衡量的成功。因此，仔细分析生物现象背后的基本特性，使我们能够快速开发旨在实现类似目标的生物启发技术。同时，受生物启发的设计可以通过更好地理解给定形态运作的性能空间来探索进化过程。通过强有力的跨学科合作，我们可以开发出新颖的生物灵感技术，这些技术不仅可以作为机器人设备，而且还可以在这个过程中教会我们一些关于生物学和生命规律的知识。
Modernfish represent over 400 million years of evolutionary processes that, in many cases, resulted in selection for phenotypes with particular performance advantages. While this certainly occurred without a trajectory for optimization, it cannot be denied that some morphologies allow organisms to be more effective than others at tasks like evading predation, securing food, and ultimately passing on their genes. In this way, evolution generates a series of iterative prototypes with varying but measurable success in accomplishing objectives. Therefore, careful analysis of fundamental properties underlying biological phenomena allows us to fast-track the development of bioinspired technologies aiming to accomplish similar objectives. At the same time, bioinspired designs can be a way to explore evolutionary processes, by better understanding the performance space within which a given morphology operates. Through strong interdisciplinary collaborations, we can develop novel bioinspired technologies that not only excel as robotic devices but also teach us something about biology and the rules of life in the process.
