Abstract
The transfer of analogies and the generation of bio-inspired technical solutions is the goal of bio-inspired design. At a first glance, bio-inspired analogies are of-ten fascinating – gecko-inspired robots which climb walls, swim suits mimicking a shark skin structure, artificial spider-silk… The technical solutions stemming from a bio-inspired analogy seem to be ultimately creative and certainly exotic in com-parison to non-bio-inspired technical products.
