“Biologically Inspired Design”

The bioworld is an immense repository of successful solutions to overcome problems. This repository can be used for biologically inspired design (BID), I will present various aspects of BID, including (i) identification of bioworld systems of relevance for engineering, with emphasis on multifunctionality, multicontrollability, sustainability, and circular economy; (ii) correlation of engineering problems with solution strategies available in the bioworld; and (iii) identification of pathways for systematic adaptation of bioworld strategies to solve engineering problems.
