Abstract

The interdisciplinary character of Bio-Inspired Design (BID) has resulted in a plethora of approaches and methods that propose different types of design processes. Although sustainable, creative and complex system design processes are not mutually incompatible they do focus on different aspects of design. This research defines areas of focus for the development of computational tools to support biomimetics, technical problem solving through abstraction, transfer and application of knowledge from biological models. An overview of analysed literature is provided as well as a qualitative analysis of the main themes found in BID literature. The result is a set of recommendations for further research on Computer-Aided Biomimetics (CAB).
