Bio-inspired design (also called biomimetics or biomimicry) is a
promising approach for the development of innovative technical
products - not only in mechanical engineering, but also in areas
such as material science and even computer engineering. Innovations
such as humanoid robots or multifunctional materials have shown the
potential of bio-inspired design. However, in industrial companies,
bio-inspired design remains an "exotic" approach which is rarely
used in innovation practice. One reason for this is a lack of
knowledge on how to implement bio-inspired design in practice.
Therefore, this guide book was written to explain the application
of bio-inspired design methods and tools. The target groups are
professional engineers and biologists, as well as students of both
disciplines. The book presents a selection of methods for specific
activities in bio-inspired design, namely: planning a bio-inspired
design project, abstraction, search, analysis and comparison, and
transfer of analogies. Factsheets give an overview of each method,
its advantages and challenges, and its suitability for different
bio-inspired design approaches and scenarios. To facilitate
understanding, all methods are explained with the help of the same
example. In addition, ten best practice examples show the practical
applicability of bio-inspired design.
