New biomaterials inspired by mature's process of problem solving
Abstract: Biomimetics is the abstraction from, and
application of, good design from biological systems. I shall
briefly describe 3 examples from my own work and that of
colleagues (woodpecker hammer, wasp ovipositor drill,
wood analogue), and discuss some of the fairy tales. I shall
then develop ways to compare biology and technology at a
more abstract level, and show how one can derive basic
design rules that can be applied to objects and processes
which have no obvious biological connection. The
underlying arguments are derived from the Russian
problem solving system TRIZ (also known as TIPS).
