Abstract

Scientists believe that products can get innovated through inspiration by nature with the eco-friendly concepts. The major objective is that the designer can really get ideas from biological phenomena and apply them to engineering problems or products. This paper presents an eco-innovative method by integrating biological cases with the TRIZ ideality method, the trends of evolution and the FAST (Function Analysis System Technique) method. This method can systemically help designers to solve problems or execute product innovation by mimicking nature’s wisdom in a smart way. An example is illustrated to demonstrate the capability of the proposed method.
