It refers to a technological framework that designs and develops unique solutions by drawing inspiration from biological systems, processes, or principles. These systems create adaptable and versatile systems by combining portions of biological models or mechanisms with artificial components. Bio-inspired hybrid systems attempt to address complex problems in domains such as robotics, artificial intelligence, and engineering by replicating natural qualities such as self-organization, flexibility, and robustness.
