Reviewing Bioinspired Technologies for Future Trends: A Complex Systems Point of View

In this contribution, the main guidelines that, in the opinion of the authors, will address bioinspired technologies in the next future are discussed. The topics are related to some specific subjects. The presented perspectives could be useful to remark how bioinspired technologies can be applied to solve every day problems in a low cost and sustainable way. Moreover, all the considerations reported hallmark the need of changing the paradigm to design innovative bionspired systems. Efficient and alternative bioinspired systems cannot be designed by only looking at macroscopic scale as observed in nature. The efforts of this paper are oriented towards providing a wide perspective on bioinspired technologies as complex systems where nonlinear phenomena are fundamental elements
