Bio-Inspired Computing is particularly at home in the fields of artificial intelligence, automation, industry and Factory 4.0. This term describes computer solutions that are based on natural processes and the behaviour of animals or plants. The aim is to find new, efficient ways to solve problems - just as nature has been doing for millions of years.
Instead of tackling problems with rigid programmes, bio-inspired computing methods use principles such as swarm intelligence in ants or the learning behaviour of nerve cells to independently find answers to open tasks. A well-known example: researchers allow swarms of robots to co-operate in a similar way to a colony of bees so that they can reach a goal together more quickly, for example when searching for sources of danger in a factory.
Bio-Inspired Computing helps companies to solve complex tasks more smoothly and often faster. The method can be useful wherever classic algorithms reach their limits. This technology is also used in production, for example to control machines more flexibly and intelligently.
