Abstract

To address the issue of insufficient research on knowledge reuse and reasoning methods across engineering and biological domains in Biologically Inspired Robot Design, the work aims to propose a combined approach for cross-domain knowledge representation based on functional case modeling and design analogy based on BioTRIZ. Firstly, a cross-domain functional case modeling method for biologically inspired robot design is proposed, which is used for knowledge representation and case modeling of design process engineering and biological cases. Then, the cross-domain design analogy methods based on functional cases retrieval and BioTRIZ were presented. In functional case retrieval, biological cases were retrieved through functional reasoning and similarity measurement according to the required functions. In BioTRIZ, the bionic robot design problem was firstly abstracted and then transformed into a set of conflicting pairs. Finally, based on the innovation principle of contradiction matrix index, the biological examples related to this function were retrieved according to the corresponding innovation principle and mapped to the engineering field to realize the innovative design of bionic check valve of medical puncture injection robot. By combining functional case modeling and BioTRIZ, the knowledge representation process in bionic robot design was enhanced, and the cross-domain design analogy workflow between engineering and biology was optimized. The systematic approach for knowledge representation and design analogy based on functional case modeling and BioTRIZ integrates the functional case modeling of the engineering domain with BioTRIZ theory, not only improving design efficiency but also providing new tools and methods for bionic robot design.
