Multifunctional and domain independent? A meta-analysis of case studies of biologically inspired design

open access: yesDesign Science, 2021
Much of the literature on biologically inspired design makes two, often unstated and largely unexamined, assumptions: (i) The process of biologically inspired design is independent of the biological domain, and (ii) the design process leads to ...

Method for Product-Integrated Innovation Based on Biological Inspiration

open access: yesApplied Sciences, 2023
Existing research on integrated innovation primarily focuses on the integration of product functions or technologies in the engineering field, with limited exploration of cross-domain integration of biological knowledge. Various organisms exhibit various

A Biologically Inspired Network Design Model [PDF]

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2015
AbstractA network design problem is to select a subset of links in a transport network that satisfy passengers or cargo transportation demands while minimizing the overall costs of the transportation. We propose a mathematical model of the foraging behaviour of slime mould P.

Design of Evolvable Biologically Inspired Classifiers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Complex systems are emergent, self-organizing and adaptive systems. They are pervasive in nature and usually hard to analyze or understand. Often they appear intelligent and show favorable properties such as resilience and anticipation. In this paper we describe a classifier model inspired by complex systems theory.

Design of a Biologically Inspired Water-Walking Robot Powered by Artificial Muscle

open access: yesMicromachines, 2022
The agile and power-efficient locomotion of a water strider has inspired many water-walking devices. These bioinspired water strider robots generally adopt a DC motor to create a sculling trajectory of the driving leg.
