Abstract

Industrial and scientific fields eager for intelligent applications that will assist them to increase the efficiency of their products and the accuracy of their results. Nature has always acted as a source of inspiration to technological developments, turning biomimetics into an increasingly active area of research. Additionally, the rapid development of computer power and computational methods allowed researchers to apply optimisation techniques in order to improve and perfect their designs.
