Abstract

The Russian “Theory of Inventive Problem Solving” was developed to solve technological problems, but it can equally well be applied to biology and the way organisms have solved similar problems. As such it can also be used to bridge the gap between biology and engineering, and to provide a theoretical basis for Biomimetics.
