A scalable approach for ideation in biologically inspired design [PDF]
Artificial Intelligence for Engineering Design, Analysis and Manufacturing, 2014 AbstractThis paper presents a bioinspiration approach that is able to scalably leverage the ever-growing body of biological information in natural-language format. The ideation tool AskNature, developed by the Biomimicry 3.8 Institute, is expanded with an algorithm for automated classification of biological strategies into the Biomimicry Taxonomy, a ...

Biologically Inspired Feedback Design for Drosophila Flight [PDF]
2007 American Control Conference, 2007 We use a biologically motivated model of the Drosophila's flight mechanics and sensor processing to design a feedback control scheme to regulate forward flight. The model used for insect flight is the grand unified fly (GUF) [3] simulation consisting of rigid body kinematics, aerodynamic forces and moments, sensory systems, and a 3D environment model ...
