Theory and design of a bio-inspired multistable oscillator
2002 IEEE International Symposium on Circuits and Systems. Proceedings (Cat. No.02CH37353), 2003We propose a semi-autonomous low-dimensional dynamical system that possess numerous coexisting stable oscillatory solutions. Unlike previous multistable systems, our system does not explicitly depend on delayed feedback. This system is inspired by earlier work studying the multistable dynamics in biological models of electrical activity in bursting ...

Bio-inspiration: Learning Creative Design Principia
2006Reusing or modifying known design concepts cannot meet new challenges facing engineering systems. However, engineers can find inspiration outside their traditional domains in order to develop novel design concepts. The key to progress and knowledge acquisition is found in inspiration from diverse domains.

Bio-inspired Design: Explicating the Value of Bio-Inspiration
2017Policymakers 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 ...

Ideology in Bio-inspired Design
2016Bio-inspired design refers to the use of the natural world as a source of models for the design of artifacts. For example, Velcro is a fastening system made from nylon that deliberately imitates the structure of burrs, which are adapted to stick to animal fur.

Bio-Inspired Design in Healthcare
Healthcare innovation thrives on bio-inspired design, drawing from nature's ingenuity to address complex human challenges. This case study explores a groundbreaking healthcare innovation – a surgical adhesive inspired by geckos. Geckos, renowned for their ability to cling to various substrates and vertical surfaces, inspire this adhesive.Kaushalya Thopate +1 more

Design of a bio-inspired underwater vehicle
2016 12th IEEE/ASME International Conference on Mechatronic and Embedded Systems and Applications (MESA), 2016Bio-inspiration can lead to a significant improvement in propulsive efficiency and maneuverability of Autonomous Underwater Vehicles employed in large areas exploration. As a matter of fact, fish swimming capabilities are still far superior to what has been achieved by the modern nautical technology.

Bio-inspired Design Pedagogy in Engineering
2019Every day, engineers are confronted with complex challenges that range from personal to municipal to national needs. The ability for future engineers to work in cross-disciplinary environments will be an essential competency. One approach to achieving this essential competency is teaching biomimicry or bio-inspired design in an engineering curriculum ...

Bio-Inspired Material Design and Optimization
2006Natural materials such as bone, tooth, and nacre are nano-composites of proteins and minerals with superior stiffness and toughness. At the most elementary structure level, bio-composites exhibit a generic microstructure consisting of staggered mineral bricks wrapped by soft protein in nanoscale.
