ABSTRACT
Nature has always been inspirational for humans, and will more than likely continue to provide many of tomorrow's innovations. Drawing inspiration from Nature teaches us to be satisfied with little while getting more. Given this potential, it is crucial to clearly understand the issues, limits and mechanisms of bio-inspiration. To this end, this article offers thoughts on what bio- inspiration is, together with its attendant sub-concepts. To give substance to this theoretical treatment, the article defines the bio-inspired design process and its related needs, coupled with its corresponding existing biomimetic toolbox.
Read this article from a comprehensive knowledge base, updated and supplemented with articles reviewed by scientific committees.
