Abstract

The trials of biomimetics using the methods that nature has already used are conducted in various fields to find the solution for technology development. However, there are few studies on the effective methodology that connects the solution of nature to technology development. Previous research assumes that nature is fundamentally different from technologies and divided into biological and technological TRIZ to solve the problem. To solve the limitations of previous research, we made biomimetic-TRIZ, which solves the problem by using only one Contradiction Matrix. Thus, the aim of this research is to overcome the limitations of previous studies and create a biomimetic-TRIZ that meets all the technical and biological points of view in a single Contradiction Matrix. This study utilizes the 40 inventive principles, 39 engineering parameters of TRIZ and cases of biomimetics from the database of AskNature.org. The proposed method suggests both new inventive principles and existing inventive principles from cases of biomimetics and constructs biomimetics-TRIZ to substitute the inventive principle of the TRIZ Contradiction Matrix. The proposed biomimetic-TRIZ will be used as a tool to support the technology development practitioners.
