Abstract
Biomimetics is a term used to describe materials, mechanisms, and systems created by humans by imitating designs and systems that exist in nature, especially in the field of tribology. This was preceded by the human admiration for the perfection and greatness of several types of organisms, including the following: the ability to fly maneuvers that exceed the most sophisticated helicopters, the ability of algae to produce light by combining several chemical substances without emitting heat at all. One more thing that the technologies in nature have been tested for reliability for thousands or even millions of years in several types of organisms. This paper aims to examine the comparison of biomimetics that mimic animals compared to biomimetics that mimics plants. The method used is a comparison of animal and plant biomimetic research. The results obtained are the fact that research so far has made more use of the tribological properties of animals when compared to the utilization of the tribological properties of plants. The opportunity for further research development is the exploration of the utilization of the tribological properties of plant structures.
