Conference Proceedings of the Academy for Design Innovation Management, 2019 Policymakers and stakeholders are asking corporations to innovate and synchronize their practices with that of the natural environment. In this hopefully thought-provoking position paper, we use a comprehensive review of literature and industrial practice in gradually building strong arguments that bio-inspired design is a possible pathway to achieve ...

Optimal Design of Short Fiber Bragg Grating Using Bat Algorithm With Adaptive Position Update
IEEE Photonics Journal, 2016 We propose a new method to optimally design short triangular-spectrum fiber Bragg gratings (TS-FBGs), using the metaheuristic bat algorithm (BA). In addition, we propose a novel modification, i.e., adaptive position update (APU), to optimize the index ...

Emergent adaptive behaviour of GRN-controlled simulated robots in a changing environment [PDF]
, 2016 We developed a bio-inspired robot controller combining an artificial genome with an agent-based control system. The genome encodes a gene regulatory network (GRN) that is switched on by environmental cues and, following the rules of transcriptional ...
