‘Bio-inspired Design’ is the scientific discipline that sees the application of solution strategies and principles existing in Nature as a source of inspiration for the development of new engineering solutions and technological innovations.
Among the examples of particularly well-known and striking bio-inspired solutions is velcro®, a closing method inspired by the high ability of the hooks of some plants to temporarily attach themselves to fabrics, clothes or other material with fibers / hair.
A partire dalla descrizione biologica della strategia naturale d’interesse, la costruzione di modelli causali capaci di dettagliarne struttura, comportamenti e dinamiche di funzionamento supporta la generazione sistematica di concept per la risoluzione di problemi in ambito tecnico
