Bio-smart Materials: The Binomial of the Future

Abstract

PrefaceThis volume, entitled Intelligent Human Systems Integration, aims to provide a global forum for introducing and discussing novel approaches, design tools, methodologies, techniques, and solutions for integrating people with intelligent technologies, automation, and artificial cognitive systems in all areas of human endeavor in industry, economy, government, and education. Some of the notable areas of application include, but are not limited to, energy, transportation, urbanization and infrastructure development, digital manufacturing, social development, human health, sustainability, new generation of service systems, as well as developments in safety, risk assurance, and cybersecurity in both civilian and military contexts. Indeed, rapid progress in developments in the ambient intelligence, including cognitive computing, modeling, and simulation, as well as smart sensor technology, weaves together the human and artificial intelligence and will have a profound effect on the nature of their collaboration at both the individual and societal levels in the near future.As applications of artificial intelligence and cognitive computing become more prevalent in our daily lives, they also bring new social and economic challenges and opportunities that must be addressed at all levels of the contemporary society. Many of the traditional human jobs that require high levels of physical or cognitive abilities, including human motor skills, reasoning, and decision-making abilities, as well as training capacity, are now being automated. While such trends might boost the economic efficiency, they can also negatively impact the user experience and bring about many unintended social consequences and ethical concerns.The intelligent human systems integration is to a large extent affected by the forces shaping the nature of future computing and artificial system development. This book discusses the needs and requirements for the symbiotic collaboration between humans and artificially intelligent systems, with due consideration of the software and hardware characteristics allowing for such cooperation from the societal and human-centered design perspectives, with the focus on the design of intelligent products, systems, and services that will revolutionize human-technology interactions.v

Hybrid biomimetic design for sustainable development through multiple perspectives

“…Nature can help sustainable design not only teaching how to save resources or the way to realize lighter and structural optimized artefacts, but also showing the life principles responsible of component integration and cooperation to create efficient resilient systems (Lucibello et al, 2018).…”

Intelligent Human Systems Integration 2019

“…Based on a previous study and definition of bio-smart materials [3], this paper opens a scenario of possible cross-disciplinary practices in the framework of designdriven material innovation approach. Four are the main principles of bio-smart intelligence: i. be sustainable: biodegradable and intelligent release; use multi-functional design; ii.…”

Smart Experience in Fashion Design: A Speculative Analysis of Smart Material Systems Applications

“…Last but not least, with the expression of 'smart material systems', we also refer to 'bio-smart materials' (Lucibello et al 2018)-material systems in which the artificial intelligence and 'intelligence in nature' are interconnected to complement each other. This means that bio-smart materials have an intelligent behavior in a biological sense, or they yield the intelligence of nature, integrating it with artificial intelligence systems.…”
