What is Nature Inspired Technique

Chapter 9
Handbook of Research on Modeling, Analysis, and Application of Nature-Inspired Metaheuristic Algorithms
Techniques or methods those are devised or copycat from nature are called as nature inspired techniques since these are motivated from the phenomenon happening in the nature as a daily routine e.g. the movement of groups of birds in sky, movement of ants in a single line and many more.

Abstract
A lot of studies have been made on new product development process to make it an ideal procedure and many researchers have contributed significantly to achieve this by studying various factors associated with it. In this study, an attempt has been made to predict the optimal numbers of new products produced by electronics and metal & machinery industry by considering various factors those significantly affects the production pattern of these industries. For prediction purposes, functional linked artificial neural network (FLANN) with and without nature-inspired techniques have been used and comparison of performance for both the models have been done by using mean square error (MSE) and mean absolute percentage error (MAPE) as the measurement indices.
