Bio-Mimetic Smart Microstructures
Attachment Devices in Insects as a Possible Source for Technical Design
Abstract The theory of inventive problem solving in engineering is based on three main principles: (1) all patents are based on about 40 inventive principles; (2) all technology trends are predictable; (3) important inventions come from outside the industry within which they are applied. During evolution, nature has constantly been called upon to act as an engineer in solving technical problems [1]. Organisms have evolved an immense diversity of shapes and structures. Many functional solutions are based on a variety of ingenious structural solutions. There is numerous biomechanical systems in insects adapted for attachment of parts of the body to each other or for attaching the organism to a substrate [2; 3]. Understanding these systems is of major scientific interest, since we can learn about their use as structural elements and their biological role and function. This knowledge is also highly relevant for technical applications [4].
