仿生设计（BID）是一个跨学科的研究领域，可以带来解决技术问题的创新。人们已经进行了许多尝试来开发一个框架来打破孤立的工程和生物学并实施流程以实现 BID。 2022 年 1 月，我们在 2022 年综合与比较生物学学会年会上组织了一次研讨会，将 BID 的教育工作者和实践者聚集在一起。研讨会旨在 (a) 巩固生物启发教学的最佳实践，(b) 创建和维持有效的多学科团队，(c) 总结进行基于问题或解决方案驱动的基础研究的最佳方法，以及 (d) 将 BID 创新推向市场。研讨会期间出现了几个主题。在这里，我们强调了 BID 需要解决的三个关键主题，以使其成为真正的跨学科战略，使所有利益相关者受益并带来创新。首先，需要一种可用的方法来正确抽象工程设计的生物学原理。其次，利用工程模型来测试生物学假设对于生物学家持续参与 BID 至关重要。第三，需要经过验证的团队科学策略，以促进工程师和生物学家之间的成功合作。伴随本介绍的是各种观点和研究文章，重点介绍 BID 研究和产品开发的最佳实践以及指南，这些指南可以突出 BID 领域的挑战并促进跨学科合作。
Bioinspired design (BID) is an interdisciplinary research field that can lead to innovations to solve technical problems. There have been many attempts to develop a framework to de-silo engineering and biology and implement processes to enable BID. In January of 2022, we organized a symposium at the 2022 Society of Integrative and Comparative Biology Annual Meeting to bring together educators and practitioners of BID. The symposium aimed to (a) consolidate best practices in teaching bioinspiration, (b) create and sustain effective multidisciplinary teams, (c) summarize best approaches to conduct problem-based or solution-driven fundamental research, and (d) bring BID innovations to market. During the symposium, several themes emerged. Here we highlight three critical themes that need to be addressed for BID to become a truly interdisciplinary strategy that benefits all stakeholders and results in innovation. First, there is a need for a usable methodology that leads to proper abstraction of biological principles for engineering design. Second, the utilization of engineering models to test biological hypotheses is essential for the continued engagement of biologists in BID. Third, there is a necessity of proven team-science strategies that will lead to successful collaborations between engineers and biologists. Accompanying this introduction is a variety of perspectives and research articles highlighting best practices in BID research and product development and guides that can highlight the challenges and facilitate interdisciplinary collaborations in the field of BID.
