doi:10.3901/JME.2020.13.207

Abstract

Abstract: In respond to the dynamic evolution of complex design, a model of bio-inspired innovation design process based on Concept-Knowledge theory is constructed. Firstly, the transformation of design elements is developed and the design space with description of Problem-Biology-Technology is standardized. Then, using the biological convergence theory and the analogy transfer methodology, the knowledge attributes are extracted for function-strategy-action-structure of biological prototype at each level, and the enlightenment are obtained for engineering problems. Furthermore, the bio-inspired design space and its operators are defined to establish the bionic operator process model in light of C-K(Concept-Knowledge) theory. Finally, with the integration of various knowledge attributes of multi-organisms, a multi-level description is obtained for engineering problems, and viable product solutions to multi-biological prototypes are established. Taking the pipeline micro-robot as an example, it's feasible to verify the bio-inspired design process model on the basis of C-K theory.

Key words: C-K theory, bio-inspired innovation, bionic prototype, operators, pipeline micro-robot
